At 8:25 AM on "News 7" this morning major dead air/black screen periods dotted the local break. The weather girl didn't even give her report and there were no video (news or commercials). Did they have a power failure? Or did they have only interns running the station? It was quite an embarrassment!!

I noted they stayed with the NBC feed from 8:25 (Shot of NBC News building with Olympics background music!) to 8:27, but they did get to the local anchor and weather.
