"Dead air" is a term used in radio broadcast to indicate a period when nothing

is being broadcast even if all systems are on line. This can be caused by an

announcer not returning to his microphone after a song, a guest not responding to

a question or problems with tapes and microphones. Dead air can be prevented by

training staff and maintaining equipment.

In high pressure, highly competitive, highly formatted, highly profitable radio,

on-air 'jocks' at one time were 'incentivized' to avoid dead air by docking their

pay some non-trivial amount per second of dead air during their respective shift.
