• The BBC still have Radio OB's, and their TV division effectively became SiS, who have recently lost their contract with the BBC which makes things more complicated. BBC Scotland do some of their own OB's using their news gathering trucks, but most of their Sports OB's are provided by private companies. BBC Wales regularly cover their own rugby.

    ITV still have their own news gathering trucks, but I'm not that familiar with how they run their OBs.

    I didn't realise BBC N+R still had as many units.
    ITV do indeed have their own SNG fleet....I'm in the process of renewing it right now...first new truck about to be acceptance tested!
    ITV doesn't have any of its own OBs anymore (I think Anglia was the last one to go)....For big events, it uses the big name OB companies and for smaller news OBs it just uses basic SNGs .

    Anyway, all very OT!
