Sean Hannity Apologizes to More Than 500 Radio Stations for Minutes-Long Blackout: 'It Was Not a Left-Wing Conspiracy'
"I certainly hope you will accept our humble apology here," Hannity said
The conservative talk host on Thursday fell on a sword for the hundreds of stations that carry “The Sean Hannity Show,” which had unwittingly broadcast silence the day before.
The host opened his three-hour midday talk block Thursday with a broad apology for “several minutes” of radio silence fed during the first hour of Wednesday’s show to more than 500 affiliates and streaming services. Hannity seemed genuinely embarrassed by the gaffe, which he said was caused by equipment .
“It was not a left-wing conspiracy that did it,” Hannity said. “It was from the overheating of some critical broadcast equipment.”
