Yes, that's correct.  

When I worked at BBC Bush House in London, there was a toggle switch on
every studio console labelled "Ben", so that the operator could insert
the chimes as needed.  The microphone in the clock tower was live all
the time so the op could check the feed, and you could occasionally hear
conversations of workmen in the tower.
