Channel 4 Racing fell off air in the middle of a race a few minutes ago for around 2 minutes. The screen suddenly went purple and green and then a static Channel 4 "Temporary Fault" slide was faded in... an apology from the announcer then silence for a little while, followed by a schedule slide which the announcer runs through... then we return to Cheltenham with no sound for a few seconds.

A power problem apparently.

(PS, I'm not asking for it, but does anyone know what font they use on C4 captions etc these days?)

5 Live had a problem too.

(My mate had a few bets on !)
