Re: [IRCA] WIOD 610 Miami, problems

[Scott Fybush <scott@xxxxxxxxxx>]

On a hunch, I wonder if they've had to evacuate the studio for some reason?

A station as big as WIOD wouldn't be running automated during Rush, and 
even if there were a catastrophic failure of the automation system that 
would normally be inserting local ads and such (with a human board op 
monitoring it), the human at the controls would be able to step in 
manually and insert IDs, promos, news, etc.

But if they had to evacuate, they might have just put up the network 
feed and gotten out of there. Just speculation at this point, mind you!
