A great idea and then...

Last night during the Super Bowl my station ran two :30 ads to promote our morning show. Plus, they used a few other the five second stinger promos to advertise our Bon Jovi ticket giveaway. Very smart idea to do both. My station is really making an effort to promote the 5am-7am show which leads into Good Morning America. And why not? It's a money maker!

The only problem was we had some technical difficulties today. And of all the days to do so. Potentially our largest audience in years and we have audio problems where half our audio board is working only half the time. The stupid board worked over the weekend (thought they did have some problems with in on Friday). Why couldn't this have waited to happen until Tuesday?

Though it didn't affect me directly - it did affect the product on the air a bit, but our production and engineering departments did a great job working around the issue. I just sometimes you never get any breaks...
