Note to Governor: Lay off The Coffee
As I drove in to work this morning, I was listening to “Good Morning Minnesota”, the Governor’s radio program on WCCO-AM. All the sudden, the show went off the air. It had to be silent for about 3 to 4 minutes. Then it popped back in, and 10 minutes later, the Governor said he spilled coffee on a console in the radio station, and he wasn’t able to take phone calls any more.
Reporter Sue Turner just confirmed to me that in fact, the Governor did spill coffee (it wasn’t a radio bit). But the coffee not only messed up the phone system, the coffee spill knocked the Governor’s show right off the air.
Awesome. Just awesome. When I worked in radio in Milwaukee (at Soft Favorites, the new 103. 7), I knocked our radio station off the air several times, while trying to take transmitter readings (the up button advanced the digital readout, the down button powered down the transmitter). But coffee? Spilled coffee? Perfect.
