For the benefit of those who were curious...the two public TV giants....ARD and ZDF....are staged in two different cities. ARD in Hamburg....ZDF in Mainz. There's a good history piece to explain this, but for another day.
Today....ZDF was off-line.
Reason? Well...on the far west end of Mainz where the ZDF complex is located....there's one massive power cable leading to it, and some digging project was underway.....when suddenly the backhoe hit the cable....knocking out all power to the buildings.
Back-up power? None.
So since early this AM, and at least till 3 PM....power has continued to be out.
I'm guessing there's a ton of pressure on the construction folks to resolve this.
