What do you do when the sound system in the news studio stops working? We go back to simpler times, and broadcast using... remotes.
A pair of anchors on a Channel 9 morning news program in Chicago were surprised to discover that their microphones had stopped working. The glitch lasted a full 19 minutes, but the two, Robin Baumgarten and Larry Potash, did not lose their temper and continued the broadcast with the help of humorous signs.
At the same time, it turned out that one of the reporters, Nancy Lou, who was on the street, had a microphone that continued to work and she continued to broadcast and update viewers, while her colleagues in the studio continued to wave their signs: "Please save me" - was the first sign that Potash waved. The anchor quickly responded with a sign of her own: "I blame Larry" - one of the station's senior executives.
Poor Larry continued to star on the signs, until Baumgarten wrote: "Larry has never been more attractive." The reporter in the field was also guided by the signs, and Potash summed up the event: "We are still more interesting than Channel 7.".
The Daily Mail reports that an investigation into the incident revealed that the sound system's control computer had locked up, muting the audio. The presenters said: "It was the best glitch in the history of live news programming.".
