What time is it?

Milwaukee's WUWM seems to be having some satellite issues, tonight.

They've been running the US Naval Observatory time at least since 10:48pm CT.

There was a blip of some other program for a fraction of a second at 2 seconds before the top of the 11pm hour, like some automated system was trying to change something, but it was right back to the time.

Very odd.
 
Sounds to me as though WUWM was trying to automate its convention coverage. NPR's coverage each night is scheduled to run 7-10 PM CT, but with the warning to member stations that it's likely to run past the scheduled end time, which has happened every night. Tonight's coverage ended at 10:39 CT, and at 10:40 CT the satellite channel that carried the coverage went back to the USNO clock, which is what's on the "Breaking News Channel" when there's no breaking news.

(I know this because my local NPR station followed NPR's advice not to automate, which is why I was in the studio making sure we went back to our scheduled programming when the network signed off...)
