In TV, don't ever tell the talent if you are off the air. Once when I
was directing the Today Show local cut-in, the idiot floor director
told the anchor we were off the air. He immediately started making
off color wise cracks with the weatherman. We were immediately
deluged with calls from people still watching on cable, and of course
I got the tongue lashing from the GM, not the talent!
