World Series Power Outage, Fox and Google Fiber Glitch
During the first game of the World Series, Fox Sports suffered a major technical failure that took the broadcast off the air.

A clip from RT (Russia Today) is played, showing a digital glitch where a report on Palestinian issues is interrupted by a coordinated monthly test of the Emergency Alert System. The hosts note that these interruptions occur at the local cable station level rather than the network level, resulting in a jarring transition from news content to technical testing.
