"Some network..........some screw."

I don't know if this went to the entire country. Morningside, like most 
programs, was done LIVE to the Maritimes and then repeated in each time zone 
from the original tape. If there was a goof-up or something that needed 
changing or updating, the feed could be interrupted or the entire hour done 
over, live (we did that many times). Or a genius tech and a genius assistant 
producer could note the time where a bad word had been uttered and be ready to 
bleep it when it was being re-fed..I kid you not. This didn't always work, 
leaving listeners to say "Boy, what did he really say if they let THAT go through?"
