WWYZ Automation System Fail

MarcB

For whatever reason The After Midnight Show from Premiere Radio Network did not come on on WWYZ and they're just playing liners, jingles, traffic reports, and IDs.

I know that After Midnight comes in off the bird from PRN, but I really think they should have a back-up music log programmed into the automation computer in case for whatever reason the automation system doesn't switch over to After Midnight.
 
And commercials as well. Hello? Anybody home at CC tonight? Get that satellite dish on Blair Garner!

I was DXing this station last night and heard that automation fail all night. They repeated the same traffic report from the day before over and over, but each time it had a different sponsor. They even played the same commercial 3 times in a row. And no music at all. The RDS also had the wrong call letters.

The stream sounded fine though.

1. Haven't you ever heard of the phrase "technical difficulties"?

When it comes to Clear Channel's Cheapness it's not considered Technical Difficulties.

This sounds like a lot bigger deal than the minor stuff Marc often brings to our attention (outdated spots running, voicetracked gab popping up in the middle of a song, etc.) Did this really go on for hours? That's horrible and a real indication that nobody's on watch after midnight in CC's Hartford cluster.
 
You should have recorded an aircheck of this - sounds like the worst radio product put out over the last year by a station not owned by Merlin...
