What do you do when the sound system in the news studio stops working? We go back to simpler times, and broadcast using... remotes.<\/p>\r\n
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.<\/p>\r\n
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.<\/p>\r\n
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.".<\/p>\r\n
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.".<\/p>\r\n
