I'd imagine the same system as currently. World has a dedicated Red Bee suite while Channel uses the NBH network routers to opt in and out. The RB suite already has the ability to show different content to different streams, the domestic version of the core channel will just be another playlist on their system to be triggered during promo breaks. I guess this combined channel means the potential to show different lower thirds and tickers is removed as these are generated manually at NBH. 

Thank you for the technical insight! I really enjoyed the info you shared with all of us~

There's just one more question... If at all possible can you talk a bit more on when will the NC's output be integrated into the current Red Bee suite? Will the NC originate from Red Bee on March 6th at 6AM or the output will be gradually integrated when the merged channel is officially launched? Is the switch as simple as switching the network routers between NBH galleries or are there more sophisticated engineering work behind it? Will there be something like a brief black screen on March 6th at 6AM when the switch occurs?

I assume a technical staff like you would know a bit more on the infrastructure as after the domestic version of the merged channel integrates into Red Bee, your workflow changes and your gallery teams no longer have to run countdowns, trailers and weather right?
