The BBC has established a contingency plan named 'Black Sky' to manage an emergency radio studio staffed by around 100 employees. This studio will broadcast government messages via VHF and satellite connections, using secure, internet-independent systems, and is equipped to maintain operation for at least three days in case of critical infrastructure failures, such as power outages caused by cyber attacks or severe weather conditions.
