Usually you get MEDIA OFFLINE when the vision desk or server fails which is playing it out

...but it was after the final credits, so was someone 'trigger happy', so to speak? Laughing

Interesting failure a few nights ago on Universal.

Does this mean someone turned off the feed from the server?

It only appeared briefly before a cut to a commercial break.

Isn't that a Final Cut Pro 'Media Offline' message ?

Or the source file is not available or has been moved or corrupted.

Yes, 'Media Offline' is the message you get on an edit suite when the source material is not available. Usually the items that are actually broadcast would be rendered and mixed down into finished, flat video files so shouldn't have that caption.... unless the editor is particually non-observant!
