During a discussion about the Emergency Broadcasting Network, it came out that BBC1 and Radio 4 are given special treatment with regards to making them more resilient in the event of something like a nuclear attack.

The reason being, apparently, is that these frequencies would be taken over by the Emergency Broadcasting Network. This was in relation to terrestrial television and radio services.

Does anybody know how if VM gives these channels any more of a priority over other channels? Maybe it's one of the reasons that they aren't encrypted??
