* Discussed in an episode of ''Series/ImAlanPartridge'' when, following a fellow DJ's pun-filled jibes over an embarrassing street cone-related incident the previous evening, Alan gets fed up and tells him to "Fuck off!" while they're still on the air. This ends up leading to a rare Moment Of Awesome for Alan:
-->'''Dave:''' ''[Pompously]'' You and I both know that dead air is a crime, and I think it's terrible that you have to fill it with swearing on your show.\\
'''Alan:''' Unfortunately Dave, you are bang wrong. It's one minute past seven, it's your show, you are responsible for the output, I am technically a guest and you have failed to control me. Read the small print in your ''cone''-tract.

* The late British [=DJ=] John Peel, widely considered TheLastDJ on BBC Radio 1, used to have this happen regularly whenever some ancient 78rpm record he'd found in a junk shop or the demo tape some GarageBand had sent in refused to cooperate; his exasperated mutter of "Just talk amongst yourselves for a minute" became a CatchPhrase.

* On ''TheBrewingNetwork'' Justin is a stickler for broadcast standards, including going nuts at brewcasters who forget to turn their microphone off when they eat or drink and at one point going on a long rant when they criticized the pictures in a calendar which was being discussed because it was made by a new sponsor.
