Dead Air on the Harvest Hour
≈ 4 min
During tonight's live 'Harvest Hour', host Petra Voss went to open a live phone line and the entire broadcast desk cut out — thirty seconds of dead air while the station's prize moment, a listener call-in giveaway, collapsed. The outage was blamed on the ancient mixing board, but the chief engineer found the desk's power lead had been deliberately worked loose behind the rack where no accident could reach it. Someone staged a fault to tank Petra's segment live.
