Radio Teesdale presenter Andy Greener spent an hour announcing the news mixed with gossip and jokes on his breakfast show yesterday - but no one heard a word. He thought he was speaking to thousands of listeners as usual, but he had forgotten to press a button in the Radio Teesdale studio, in Barnard Castle.

The story went around the world, here are just a few places it was reported.
