It *should* have only taken them a few *seconds* to patch-out the CR and run 
a show from Prod. Too bad they didn't know how to do that. (Or the station 
wasn't set-up to allow it. It should be.) They could have also just pulled the 
*main* breaker, too, and got him off-air in seconds. God forbid if something 
like that ever happened here, I'd have patched him out in seconds and started a 
"Technical Difficulties" loop. Call 911, and wait for the Police- then kick the 
door in and (hopefully) resume normal programming.

What a send-off, tho.
