🇬🇧 NEW: UK REVEALS DETAILS OF EMERGENCY BROADCASTING PLANS FOR NATIONWIDE BLACKOUT The BBC has detailed its contingency plans for a potential “Black Sky” event – a major infrastructure failure that could disrupt electricity, water supplies and communications across Britain. According to the BBC: • Around 100 staff would operate a dedicated emergency radio studio. • Food, water and fuel would allow operations for at least 72 hours. • FM transmitters would rely on diesel generators to maintain broadcasts. • Satellite phones and vehicles would provide backup communications. • Pre-prepared public health instructions would cover drinking water, food safety and sanitation. The UK government previously confirmed that the BBC maintains and regularly tests emergency broadcasting arrangements. The plans are precautionary. Authorities have not identified any specific threat to the national electricity grid.
