Triple Audio On WJJF-FM Today

Yes, I have heard of a thing called "technical difficulties," but this was a doozy. Usually, they cut away at 5:30 AM in the middle of WSJ This Morning and play a :60, a CBS News update at 5:31, then two :60's and back to WSJ. For whatever reason, the local break didn't trigger, and instead, they stayed with the WSJ feed for a four-minute info segment, and a minute in, I heard the CBS News update, plus a :10 station liner on top of them. Triple audio for ten seconds. A little bit extra power over at Full Power this morning...

A doozy? Really? Technology can deliver hours and days of flawless programming. When there is a screwup, real doozies can happen. What you describe is minor compared to hours of birdfed programs airing simultaneously with housefed hard drive music, hours of dead air punctuated by occasional tones or local breaks, constant audio cutouts or other extended issues that make a station totally unlistenable. I've heard these problems and more over the years on stations big and small. It happens to the best of us. I assure you radio people reading this are rolling their eyes when this is described as a "doozy".
