User:NyanCat2006/FATAL ERROR: PET gets the Kill Screen

PET’s continuing decay was one of many factors which led to its downfall at the turn of the decade. Not to mention corruption within employees, this was there to try to turn around decreasing profits at the expense of jobs within all their studios in Port Davis, and a poor local programming record in the southern states. And their facilities were falling apart, and with no plans to repair, the Broadcasters' Board saw no choice but to shut its franchise down. However, the worst was still to come for PET...

2:06 PM
This alert came on air on the 27th of August 2010, at around 2pm, after a loss of transmission lasting about 15 minutes.


 * We apologize for the loss of service. An unknown error has occurred at our studios. Our studio complex is encountering a problem it could not self-address, and as such, PET cannot continue regular operation at this time. Please stay tuned.

3:20 PM
Pretty soon, the cause was found to be a fire which had engulfed the studios at Port Davis University and had trapped around 187 people inside, fighting for their lives. The news department soon found a temporary home within the PTP newsroom and the news was still broadcast that night, detailing the tragedy that unfolded that day.


 * PET is off air due to a major fire at its University studios. The studio complex is encountering a problem it could not self-address, and as such, its services are on standby, meaning PET cannot continue regular operation at this time. We are currently trying our best to put out the fire and prevent any further damage to our facilities.

4:05 PM
This caption came on air at 4pm, announcing that the PET service was unable to get back on air for any longer than 45 minutes before losing the strength to send out a strong signal, so emergency links were set up with History and Cartoon Network for network programs, and they opted out at 6pm for PET Newsline. All local programs were unfortunately cancelled.


 * PET'S SERVICE HAS BEEN INTERRUPTED DUE TO A VERY SERIOUS FIRE AT THE PORT DAVIS UNIVERSITY STUDIOS.
 * Please be aware we are setting up links with the History Channel, Cartoon Network and Lifetime for programs, and we are trying to correct the fault to prevent further damage to the studios. All non-educational programming, except for the news, has been cancelled. Also, all of our archive material are likely to be considered damaged and hence irrecoverable.

15 minutes later, the caption is changed by an employee.
 * Please be aware we are risking our lives. By leaving our studios, we are risking our facilities getting burned to the ground and all our precious work destroyed, resulting in the end of this channel. Please tune in to PTP 3 for educational programming.

It would later switch to an older computer-generated caption, which said:
 * UPDATE: PET STUDIOS NO LONGER SAFE. ALL ARCHIVE MATERIAL, EQUIPMENT AND FACILITIES ARE PERMANENTLY DAMAGED. TUNING IN TO THIS CHANNEL IS NOT RECOMMENDED.

The last caption would read:
 * Cannot resume transmission any longer. Facilities including transmitter no longer functional. Transmission will permanently cease within two weeks. Thank your for watching! - PET Staff
