NVS RedZone Evacuation: A False Alarm Leads to On-Air Chaos
In breaking news, the NFL RedZone offices were compelled to evacuate on Sunday due to a false alarm that disrupted the live show at approximately 7:16 p.m. ET. Thankfully, it was confirmed by an NFL spokesperson that there was no fire, and no business functions, including NFL RedZone, were halted or affected by the incident.
Host Scott Hanson shared his experience during the alarm, stating that he was “in the middle of an update” when he heard the alarm go off. He attempted to continue without drawing too much attention to it, hoping it was a false alarm. However, as it persisted, he informed the audience and apologized for the distraction.
As the evacuation order was given, the RedZone feed was “parked” on the Bills–Eagles game. Just as Hanson was about to take off his microphone, he was told to wait. Although they were permitted to stay in the studio, they were requested to sign off the air.
Hanson also expressed gratitude for the concern shown by viewers and assured them of their return the following Sunday. During the broadcast, the audience could hear the alarm as background noise, and the flashing alarm strobe was visible while Hanson was on camera.
In the midst of the pandemonium, Hanson managed to provide information about the situation, trying to maintain composure and professionalism. Furthermore, NFL Network Studios in Inglewood has a backup studio at NFL Films in Mount Laurel, N.J., for just this kind of emergency. The viewers could sense the chaos through Hanson’s demeanor and the ambient background noise.
For those who witnessed the memorable incident, Hanson tweeted his appreciation, confirming that the alarm had stopped and all was clear, but details were still forthcoming. He expressed his gratitude by saying, “Thanks for watching NFL RedZone week 12! One to remember.”
RedZone, owned and operated by the NFL Network since 2009, broadcasts during the NFL regular season, providing commercial-free football coverage, and Hanson has been the host since its inception.
With so much going on, the twitter feed reads: “Well, that was…. interesting. Alarm has stopped. Apparently all clear. Still waiting on details. Thanks for watching NFL RedZone week 12! One to remember.”
Everyone has been able to experience the devotion, dedication, and resourcefulness the NFL RedZone team possess during this unexpected event. This eclectic coverage of multiple football games in one mad dash can lead to anything, including false alarms. This was certainly one for the books.
Hanson is a pro in on-air talent, and we can only imagine what is yet to come as we tune back in next Sunday.
Make sure you’re back for more action next week!
