Nah, makes perfect sense. Engineer = $100,000/year or more with benefits.

Off air 12 hours? How much revenue was lost? Less than 100k probably. 
Pay a contract engineer $500 to get it back on.. still money ahead.

Of course, no preventive maintenance, proactive fixing of things, etc. 
But that seems to be the trend.
