In this article, we present the evaluation results for the task of speaker diarization of broadcast news, which was part of the Albayzin 2010 evaluation campaign of language and speech technologies. The evaluation data consists of a subset of the Catalan broadcast news database recorded from the 3/24 TV channel. The description of five submitted systems from five different research labs is given, marking the common as well as the distinctive system features. The diarization performance is analyzed in the context of the diarization error rate, the number of detected speakers and also the acoustic background conditions. An effort is also made to put the achieved results in relation to the particular system design features.
