BBC ONE Junction Cock-Up

3 announcers talking at once?! (July 2005)

The BBC News Special finished here in the West, and headed into the Acrobats ident.

An announcer started talking, and a moment later was interrupted by another announcer talking over the top, about something different.

A few seconds later, yet another different announcer began talking, before all were cut off abruptly as it crashed into Points West, which played for a second, froze, played from the start again, then froze and began once again before proceeding as normal.

Happened in the midlands so it was a UK wide thing. The second voice wasn't an announcer it was the audio of BBC News 24

An England-wide thing, I think you'll find.

Did anyone capture those strange events?
If so I would appreciate it if someone could post the cock-ups.

Were you just lucky to capture it in time, or do you leave a recorder running through the day? As I was amazed that you managed to capture Bounce Sombre at 6am in the morning on TWO NI!

here is a clip of the cock-up for anyone who is interested.

Sorry about the audio being left channel only - my real player encoder has been playing up recently Mad

I can't play the file - can't you encode it to a standard 'rm' file rather than an rmvb? Confused

Or even better - do it to MPEG. That way pretty much everyone can play it.
