Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
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.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 241).
"On her way to work one summer morning, a beautiful young television anchorwoman vanishes without a trace. Precious little evidence remains: only her car and a few puzzling clues. Peer behind the scenes of this true crime story, and uncover the cold case file of Jodi Huisentruit, the Iowa anchorwoman who mysteriously disappeared before dawn on June 27, 1995. Was it a stranger abduction? Was she taken by someone she knew? Someone somewhere still harbors the truth about what happened to Jodi."--From publisherʹs description.
