Lucky to have things operate as they should? That should be standard 
operating procedure, not luck. I guess I'm unlucky because I heard it 
and was unable to reach anyone at the largest station in Hartford run 
by the second largest corporation in the business. I hope there's 
never an emergency in Hartford that a listener wants to report. 
Sounds like another Minot type situation in the making. Even if Minot 
never happened

This is a good sign. No apology for sloppy operation. By the way, the 
other secondary in Enfield, CT, is now 3 hours and 10 minutes into 
silence. Still pumping out titles and artists but no audio. It's a 
station run by the largest company in the business. So much for 
devotion to IBUZ.
