Looks like 30 channels on the surface (but likely to have at least 1 virtual/secondary layer) - 18 on the left and another 12 on the right.
My guess is 6 Outside Sources, 4 telephone lines, a couple of ISDN/VOIP lines, and 6 microphones on the left console. And on the right we can see the right-most faders are open at unity gain, which would imply they're output faders - so I suspect one for mic group, one for replay group, one for OS group, one for record out, and maybe one for studio out (though I hate this practice of including faders for outputs, especially your main out). That leaves about 6 for the playout system - probably 4 main channels and 2 cart/sound effect type channels.
