So I feel if there is a breakdown in Washington or Singapore then you would get the usual breakdown screen that you'd expect if in London.
In a way, that’s my point.
Washington (and I think sometimes Singapore) “produce” themselves in the sense that they have their own galleries. They are not dependant on London. But what if the feed to NBH goes down or their gallery fails due to technical problems?
Does London use a standby presenter (meaning somebody is there 11pm to 5am every day but never appears normally) or would the channel just go to a breakdown slide, or would one of the other bases (Washington/Singapore) cover for the failed one? Or would the gallery in London (which it appears the feed still “runs though” from Richard Murrel’s tweets) just do an emergency playout of a recorded hour?
