The DJ on my local radio station fell asleep at about 6.15am a few years ago.
I thought there was something up, although the records kept playing.
I knew the station manager at the time, and he told me later the studio automatically switches to a tape if there is a silence or no activity for a minute or so.
The manager knew something was up because he heard the first record on the tape, which was not introduced by the DJ.
He hot footed it to the station, woke up the DJ, and sacked him after the programme ended.
The incident provided the DJ with his five minutes of fame.
It made a few stories in the tabloids, and I think he appeared on breakfast telly.
