FW: Board-op holiday?

[Roger Kirk <rkirk@videoserver.com>]

A forward from my Rochester NH broadcast correspondent 
and monitor:

15:30 09/22/1998

> Someone must have hit the wrong hole in the patch panel on their way
> out the door.  I have been listening to WZNN (930 Rochester) for
> several minutes and all I am hearing is an apparent network feed of
> news clips.  A voice says "153", then we hear 3 beeps, then a few
> seconds-long news story, Then "154", 3 beeps, another story.  "155",
> 3 beeps, another clip, etc., etc.  Subjects are varied, Clinton, the
> hurricane, etc.
> 
> Finally, a voice says "This concludes the 3:07 eastern news feed.
> This is CNN Radio News - Atlanta."
> 
> Now, silence...
> 
> Boy, those Capstar guys really have it together, don't they?
> 
> I assume they are being programmed from the WHEB building in
> Portsmouth now.  I have noticed that WERZ has been promoting the fact
> that their studios are now in Portsmouth.  I guess with 7 stations
> in one building, nobody wants to monitor the one with the "standards"
> format.
