Default Updating "Digital Dave/Doris"

I took the Overground from Clapham Junction to West Brompton yesterday.
All the written signage included Imperial Wharf but I'm pretty certain that
when the train was announced Imperial Wharf was omitted. Now, I may be
wrong and I wasn't going to wait another 30 minutes to find out but it set
me wondering, how is the digital announcement updated? How much extra
recording is required for "Imperial Wharf"? Just 2 words or more? Then
how is the update distributed? Is there a central server and a comms line
or does someone send out a disc? Are Dave and Doris on a permanent
contract to come and make updates, how often?
