Fire at Red Bee Broadcast Centre

[eladkse]

News on the wire is that there has been an “evacuation” of (some portion of) Red Bee in White City.

I don’t know anything further, but it would tally with the channels that seem to be affected.

F1 has just ended on Channel 4 and we are stuck on the endcap

Yes, the programme has finished early as it was meant to finish at 7:20pm.

That moment you wish your Freeview recorder had more than two tuners!

Anyone kind enough to capture when things went awry on the +1 channels?

[Neil Jones]

Thanks [mention]Larry the Loafer[/mention] , just seen the breakdown thread.

4seven seems okay, though of course the C4 +1 channels are going to effectively replay the entire breakdown soon when they get there. Which is always fun.

E4 and Film 4 are still on air, but More 4 is off air with a black screen and some funny lines appearing.

Edit: Film 4 are now off air with the screen flickering.

5SELECT currently completely black.
5USA on with a screen with half of its logo.
E4 Adverts up and running again.
More4 off air.
Channel 4 still on F1 endcap.
4Music still off air.
5Star up and running.

Edit:
KISS off air.
Both BOX channels off air.
5USA, Paramount and 5SELECT back on air.

Edit 2:
Channel 5 back on air.
More4 back on air.
C4 and 4Music are the only ones still off air.

Channel 5+1 now on a breakdown caption.

Box Network is all down (Magic, Kerrang, Box+ etc.)

[PATV Scunthorpe]

As noted, all Box Plus Network channels are off-air, but the graphics are still going out as normal.

Watching on E4+1, an ident played out silently with the CA, seemed to be glitching, then into a silent RAF sponsor sting and froze. Now it's cut to black and flickers with the DOG on screen.

Film 4+1 seems to be a bit stuttery every now and again playing The Simpsons Movie. I presume this persisted until it froze on the credits.

GB News and London Live come from there too, have both of their viewers noticed any problems?

[JetixFann450]

It's not just Channel 4 and Channel 5, BT Sport also comes from White City and it too is down. BT Sport 3 is reportedly showing a "BT Sport" slide with what appears to be buzzing.

EDIT: Someone's already mentioned it in the first page.

[Tom]

More 4 is now showing adverts but when the adverts finished it goes back to a black screen.

GB News seems to be working fine.

The Box is playing its UK Hot List graphics as normal, albeit without any videos.
