Does anyone know why BBC News sometimes omits the TOTH countdown timer?

I have this on most of the day, I've seen this a few times.

I can only assume it's because they don't actually know how long they'll be, so they can't start a real timer, but an official answer would be nice

It is because of localisation. The BBC does not show the same content in all regions. The BBC supports 12 individual regions in the UK. News programmes being the most prevalent. This is how they realign from local content back to national content.
- Thanks.
