    Our tech folks called AP in New York, and apparently we were told there is some kind of outage.

    Anyone else having a problem?

    Called AP. Their servers are blown, and they don't know when they'll be back up and running.

    Just got this via e-mail.

    Inexcusable. No backups?

    Luckily we unplugged our satellite feed today. And just plugged it back in.

    Also inexcusable since they haven't moved anything since 3. If it takes them 4 hours just to send an e-mail saying they're down, how long will it take them to actually fix the problem?

    Wish we were this fortunate. We dumped the dish a few weeks ago.

    Are you getting all AP copy, moon?

    Yes via the satellite only. They switched our web feed back to satellite. Just got on exchange though, still nothing.

    Copy finally is starting to trickle in. Thank goodness for MCT, or my pages would be very empty right now.
