Episode description
2022.02.24 – 0420 – Silence In An On-Air Studio
VOICE BOX
Silence in an on-air studio
If an audio signal is not sent to a radio station transmitter for a set period of time, an emergency ‘tape’ kicks in.
That’s if equipment senses that a silence is too long, and maybe ‘something’ has happened in the broadcast studio … say the studio desk has broken, there’s a power cut, fire or evacuation.
So if you’re being melodramatic with a super-long pause, you may just get more than you bargained for. That emergency recording will fire up, and go straight to the transmitter and take your desk off air.
