Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

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.
