Well I heard it again early this morning and in the middle of the day. The voice is very unprofessional. Why they let this Putz on the air is beneath me. I thought board ops weren't allowed ON AIR.

But I will say the voice sounded like a typical music radio DJ. Now I know why he works OFF air. Cheesy

If there is a problem with the automation PC, and the host is in the bathroom or ordering pizza, somebody has to do it.

Sorry but this sounds pretty far fetched to me.

While the video is six years old, this YouTube video from JAM showing The Making of WABC #121 (top of hour jingle) shows what I assume is/was the master control room and, yes, there is a microphone at the board operator's position (3 mins, 30 secs in on the video).

It would only make sense to have a mic in the control room for emergencies, etc.
