I'm looking at that script now, and it seems that it doesn't actually run
silence detection for any of the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 or Channel 5 groups
of channels (See the whitelist function ).

Having said that, it could be a good place in the code to set the
threshold values for different groups of channels.
