    Epic FAIL.

    mind you, the bizzare ways that Reals music policy is changing i would be surprised if they started playing this

    Quick, read the name of the station out again. That’ll help. Remind everyone which station is fouling up so badly.

    I love the fact he couldn’t fill properly… “I’m now opening the CD case, I’m now pressing eject on the CD players, I’m now… ”

    LOL

    Fabulous!

    It’s interesting to note that when something like this happens, many jocks are simply lost for words… and as the previous poster said, resort to dishing out the station ID and strap. It seems to highlight how robotic and formulaic commercial radio can be.

    Note to self: Have a cheeky content link ready in the back of mind ready for the next time this happens — and it will happen to us all at some point!!

    …oh, and maybe a nice safe maroon 5 cd too eh?

    If it was me I would have kept the mic closed until I had a decent backup CD sorted… an extra 30 seconds of dead air would have been a lot less embarrassing than this.

      An extra 30 seconds of silence would probably have started the real emergency CD!

    That sounded like Real Radio in the North East… They are dodgy at the best of times!
