Sound problems interrupt Latvian morning show for 49 minutes

Latvian public media broadcaster LSM’s weekday morning programme “Rīta panorāma” was interrupted for about 49 minutes on Friday because of technical problems.

The programme began at its usual time, 6:30 a.m., but sound problems forced a break. The hosts told viewers the broadcast was pausing because of technical issues.

LSM said the live audio problems required the team to switch to a backup studio. Staff resolved the issue, and the programme resumed after about 49 minutes. LSM said it would review the incident internally to establish what happened and identify any further steps needed.
