Thanks for this little tidbit of information Orry. I have a couple of questions arising from this. Sorry to be a pain in the neck and go slightly OT for a moment:

1) Considering this is Red Bee's Broadcast Centre in White City and what happened back in September 2021. What would become ITV's "Salford" in terms of DR (disaster recovery) backups?
and 2) Given that you've mentioned Chiswick. What about Leeds. Is that also in the long run going to transfer to White City or is this just about the southern playout system at the moment?

You've probably answered question 1 yourself there, ITV already has a second playout location in Leeds. If they're moving locations then they'll almost certainly get a similar setup to BBC and Ch4 which are also two-site resilient. 

The question is more what Channel 5 will do. When the Red Bee incident happened their playout moved to their backup location which was Red Bee Chiswick.... they were in the area next door to ITV!
