Book excerpt: In the world of television, ôdead airö is a dirty term. It is most often used when a TV program comes to an unexpected stop, either through operator error or for technical reasons. Among professional broadcasters, dead air is considered one of the worst things that can happen, since it results in a blank screen, or in digital television, a frozen image. Dead air is the lack of audio or video on the screen at any time, and it is to be avoided at all costs. Valuable viewers are lost during periods of dead air.
