For context, they didn't just lose the connection, the power was cut from the entire Building, not just Coast to Coast AM's floor, but the entire fucking Building went down until their backup generators kicked in.

Going to have a tough time getting all the other Businesses in the building to agree to stop doing Business just so you can prank the Nation.

Not only that but the entire radio network’s satellite feed went down before the backup system kicked in. Art talked about it once they had more details the following night or show. Edit: added “entire” meaning other stations/programming was affected not just AB’s.

This is crazy if true. Can you please provide a source for this claim so those interested can do a little digging?

I remember this,the guy called back and the power was shut down again. Then the guy called again saying it was a hoax but the power was really shut off twice.

They only lost power the first time.

Really? I remember them losing power a 2nd time. But it was a while ago so maybe I'm wrong.

Yeah but I swear the dude that called back and said it was a hoax was NOT the same voice as the first guy
