...transmission continuity in the event of unforeseen broadcasting disruptions. The Eurovision Network Operations Centre B (NOC B), 100 kilometers east of Geneva, is the most advanced such facility within the Eurovision Network, and functions as a safety net in the event of disruption. During its start-up phase, the NOC B will ensure viewers receive uninterrupted coverage of sports events, including the UEFA Champions League™ and UEFA Europa League™. During peak transmissions, the center will be staffed by a team of up to three. Phase two of the NOC B rollout will begin early next year. The technology will be upgraded, the emergency switching process automated, and the facility's benefits extended to all network operations.
