        Sadly, likely no one.
        I will only tell you it was a large company,
        but not who.
        At 3:30 one morning, a car hit a power pole 
        and caused a "flash" ... 
        Five minutes later, when power returned, the
        digital processor locked up, and the station was
        throwing silence.

        IT was not until 10AM   ... 10 AM ... that someone
        called and asked "will you be on the air today?"

        No one had paid any attention to this station, 
        not the PD, not the GM, not the SM, not the
        rest of the staff.... 

        7 hours.

        90 minutes is fast response!
