Re: Various channels went off air tonight on multiple platforms
Reducing the number of playout centres and centralising everything has, no doubt, saved a lot of money. Although at the expense of quite a few jobs. Situations such as this expose the weaknesses of the broadcast chain. Concentrating resources in known locations such as White City & Media City also put the infrastructure at risk to terrorist attacks. Weaknesses in the system can be devastating for viewers as the loss of the mast at Bilsdale West Moor has demonstrated.
