I wonder if the technical people here can explain this a little better. Why couldn't they have put an audio feed on the air? It seems like, if they could put the Steve Harvey show on they could have found a way to grab the radio feed from ESPN or something and put it on until they fixed the problem. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Like TV only smarter.
