I worked for 10 years in broadcast, as a director, IT support, and an Engineer.

I love picking errors out of any broadcast, especially with what I know now.

Seeing things like this and other documented cases of broadcast errors always make me happy because I know how hard it is sometimes to be in that line of work and how easy it is to just make little blips here and there.

Making errors is how I learned to never get between older people and their midday TV dramas. They absolutely know how to get a hold of you if they miss a few minutes of Young and Restless!

Broadcast errors are not only interesting to watch, they also made TV feel human and alive. Nowadays, watching most cable channels feels like staring at the output of a VLC playlist with ten movies on loop.
