On Air Blunder 😂

Was watching the local news for latest updates on the winter storm. The reporter meant to say part of the NY State thruway is closed until further notice. Instead he said, "part of the NY State thruway is closed until further nudists." 😂😂😂😂

Or should I say, the once and future 100,000 watt station. Shortly before I started, the 600 foot tower fell in an ice storm. We were operating with an 80 foot temporary stick at about the average power of a toaster.

My roommate was doing afternoons, and who was trying everything to try to keep an audience, would give out his best wishes to the small towns in the area. One afternoon, as I was driving to the station, he meant to say “Good afternoon to all the fine folks in Hudson.” Unfortunately, it came out over the air as “. . . all the fine fucks in Hodson.”

When I got to the station, and walked into the control room, he was beating his head on the sharp corners of the control board. Before I could say anything, the PD walked into the studio. Charlie’s eyes got real big, and the blood drained from his face as he saw his radio career pass before his eyes. But the PD didn’t hear it, and nobody ever complained, so he survived to very caaaaarefully greet other towns in the future.

Plus they'd probably end up being airborne like the cow in Twister with some of these gusts.
