Households in Oxford and Abingdon experienced a power surge this morning - but problems with their electricity supply lasted only a few seconds.
The power surge happened at about 7am and silenced BBC Radio Oxford's hourly news bulletin for several seconds.
A spokesman for Southern Electric said they were checking the source of the error.
