They only seemed to cut it off in order to take the live press conference - perhaps the idea was to take the Six for the summary of the story so far (after all, there's not going to be another rescuee for another half an hour) rather than more filling from Matt or Tim (who's back on twitter after 3 hours sleeping). The way they crashed into the press conference suggests to me they weren't expecting it.

News desks are in offices. The news MCR area (SCAR) can take in many different feeds, although how many each gallery can take at a time I have no idea. It's not really relevant here as there can't be any more than 3 or 4 seperate feeds coming in from Chile
Does anyone know how many live feeds the BBC News desks can take at any one time?

That's how it's pronounced, but it's quite clearly written as "FENIX 2" on the side of the capsule.

Be interesting to see what George says on the BBC1 6pm news bulletin. Normally its 'coverage continues on the BBC News channel, but viewers on BBC1 its time for the news where you are'.
With it only going out on BBC1 will he say 'Coverage of the Chile miners rescue continues on the BBC News channel, now it's time for the news where you are'.

There's three at the scene, so if FENIX2 (Spanish for Phoenix
) is unusable, they'll get FENIX1 or FENIX3.

I don't know how many OSes* the desk would be able to pick up, but I do know that when there's a big event, they'll sometimes use one gallery as a hub, feeding into another - an example would be going round the houses during a two minutes' silence, where an otherwise out-of-use studio such as N9 would get all the OSes and do the switching.
(The most you'll probably get is Election Night: this year, TV Centre's main MCR, CCA were downlinking 38 sat trucks, plus a bunch more coming in by fibre from various locations - which were fed into a temporary hub in the basement conference suite, where producers spotted interesting feeds to switch up to TC1.)

I'm well aware that Fénix is Spanish for Phoenix. Is there a problem with using foreign words when they're what is being used?
Anyway, wasn't there modifications to the design of Fénix 2 and 3, meaning that Fénix 1 is unsuitable? Apparently neither 1 or 3 will be needed though as 2 is holding up.

Well we speak English, so we should use English words. We say Eiffel Tower, not Le Tour Eiffel. It's bad enough with the correspondents spouting pidgin Spanish pronounciations that would make Andrew Sachs proud.

My theory would be 2 outside sources on each desk at the beebs galleries, any more may crash them
