Never worked in network TV I guess. It ain't radio.

Sometimes you have to take a little initiative  whether you are following  
orders or not. We had a guy at WNBC-TV  that was airing the Christmas Eve  
Midnight Mass from the Vatican and  it was running late so he switched to  
Midnight at the Apollo.  

The pope wasn't too pleased and the MCR guy was reprimanded for not  
calling 
someone.

Somehow I find  it hard to believe that the Pope in Rome (who was already 
at home asleep  at midnight US time) was told about this on the next 
working  day:

"By the way, Holiness, I'm sorry to report that in New York,  viewers 
were not able to see the end of the Midnight Mass on television.  
Instead of the last procession, there was a musical performance by, uh,  
Sly and the Family  Stone...."
