>>KABC-TV in Los Angeles was knocked off the air for more than three
hours Sunday by a power outage at its Mt. Wilson transmitter.

Interesting that they don't have a back up generator there.  Considering the
size of the market, I kinda figured they would have double and/or triple
redundancy for things like this.


>>Burton said the snafu interrupted coverage of the U.S. Figure Skating
Championships, which were rebroadcast when the station regained
power.

Oh, thank goodness it wasn't quality programming like Jerry Springer that
wasn't blacked out.
