[BC] Last Stands

[Paul Smith W4KNX]

That was done in this area many years ago.  A guy barricaded himself in the
Control Room and played Johnny Paycheck's "Take this job and shove" over and
over again....  Probably was stunting, but the station changed formats the
next day.  Made all the papers

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.
