WDRC 1360/103.3 Dead Air tonight?????

W

W1COD

Station has been throwing a dead carrier for the last 3 or so hours...seems to have lost their feed/automation...is their no op on duty on the FM side?? That and the loads of dead air in and out of the news breaks at top and bottom of the hour...
 
Sounds more like an engineer issue than a warm body in the station. Years back our engineer, a contract engineer, set it up so he got a call whenever there was an issue like dead air, transmitter cutback and such. That was about 2010. By the time I caught it and called, he already knew and was working online to correct the issue and if his online fix didn't work he'd go to the station to manually fix it.

It's Sunday morning. You are probably one of 10 or fewer people listening to this station. It's not worth iHeart's time or money to have a full-time nanny there.

I doubt Full Power has anyone in the building most of the weekend, and id highly doubt anyone overnight, even on weekdays

That's the way it should be. When Full Power Radio has an engineering issue, I call (860) 243-1115 prompt 5 and leave a message for the CE Chief Engineer Scott Baron
