Most broadcasters have a system for detecting signal loss and dead-air which kicks in an apology mesage - that's probably either their default or the nearest to hand/least inappropriate if it was manually inserted. After all they are unlikely to have had a "Please accept our apologies for loss of programming while we change government" standing by, just in case.
