How long were they broadcasting without a tower?
How were they not already aware that there was dead air? Was anyone out there even listening in the first place?
A shocking number of radio stations do not listen to their own broadcasting.
Source: A radio listener that has looked for the radio station's phone number, while wishing an employee was listening and could just shout at the DJ about their open mic, dead air, and other obvious mistakes.
Its all commercials now anyways. Of course no one is listening.
Screaming into the void.
