But is it automation screw-ups or simply operator error?  As with every 
other station, the end-of-year "use 'em or lose 'em" vacation day rush is 
on.  I've noticed a lot of their second string anchors on the air in 
weekday drive time the past couple weeks (how many months vacation does 
Gary LaPierre get anyway?)...I'm sure everyone is stretched pretty thin.

I'm not familiar with MediaTouch automation, but my guess is operator 
error...you hit the wrong hotkey, you get the wrong event.
