I'm sure, because in any halfway-decently wired station, it should not be 
very difficult to take the person in the CR off the air. One properly-plugged 
patch cord, and he's history. Of course, one could also plug the AIR output back 
into the MON IN, and let him think he's still on the air... then he can "play 
DJ" until the Police come to haul him off.

Now I'm curious... has anyone here ever had an actual experience* like that, 
or know of a station that did?

* = DJ actually DID barricade into the CR and literally take-over, not as a 
stunt.
