This happened at WILL-TV in Urbana, IL too! It was always a crude photo, I believe from "The Time Monster" with a lame "Dr Who" caption at the bottom and the theme playing over and over again. They'd use this card regardless of what story was being shown, or which Doctor.
WNED always had a black screen with sort of a marquee lights and it had some guy saying "We are experiencing audio difficulties. Please do not adjust your set."
Maybe it's supposed to be the outside of the studio. Yeah it sort of looks like the transmission tower outside of the studio and they superimposed the technical difficulties graphic over the picture.
You wouldn't happen to have the "We are experiencing audio difficulties. Please do not adjust your set" graphics do you? I'd like to see it and remenise.
WNED17, do you by any chance have the WNED Technical Difficulties screen from the early-mid 90's? It has, If I remember correctly, Godzilla tearing down powerlines (I'm being completely serious about this one). I remember that card vividly but I don't know if anyone actually has footage of it.
I guess it must have been used on both stations at one point or another, since it was pretty generic. I remember it being used at least once on WNED, though.

I wonder why they had to put up the card... it looked like nothing was wrong with the video or audio. How dare they disrespect Doctor Who like that?

Where's the cheesy elevator music? I was expecting to a muzak rendition of 'It's Not Unusual' or 'Up, Up, And Away'.

Spanish Flea by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass is always an excellent "one moment please" selection.

I think CityTV was the one with the "Godzilla" Technical Difficulties card.

Yeah it was City TV that had the Godzilla and the phrase "Not Much is happening we'll be right back."

It always reminded me of the Toronto Zoo African Pavilion
