I was even more amused that they linked to Gawker for the story about themselves.<p>Feel bad for the TD who brought his kid to work and was rewarded with 73 seconds of dead air, though. That would be enough for the average radio engineer to put that little troublemaker up for adoption. You think people take an outage on your site seriously? Dump about fifteen seconds of silence onto an operating radio station, much less a network, and people <i>lose their minds</i>. Executives run out of offices shouting. Phones light up. It&#x27;s amazing. My record was 46 due to a router failure and I had the station&#x27;s general manager riding my shoulder before I could restore air.<p>I&#x27;ve heard of firings for a minute, so joking aside, hope everything worked out. If they&#x27;re joking about it on a listserv I&#x27;d assume so.
