I used to know someone who did something very similar and turned off a Soho post production facility with his belt.
A good example of how radio station playout systems are set up. When the studio power failed the promo kept playing and ended nice and clean. The system playing the audio isn't in the studio they're just being controlled remotely from the studio. So when the studio failed the playout system finished what it was playing and didn't know what to do next. In the old days you'd have got a bit of a noise and then silence as soon as the desk was depowered
