Commercially sensitive, certainly. A bit more than that though when it comes to DR playout. When broadcasters are using their DR backup sites, its fairly safe to assume that the backup site doesn't also have a backup site. A fairly precarious situation to be in. A very easy target for anyone wanting to wilfully disrupt the broadcast chain. A major security issue, especially now with 3 of the 4 public service broadcasters operating from disaster recovery sites. The location of the sites is relatively well known in the industry and that, in itself, is a potential problem. Are the site locations "secret"? possibly not as secret as they ought to be. There are national security issues involved. Probably not a good idea to announce these locations to a rogue state...
