JH Power Failure

The JH Power Failure was an incident that took place on 3rd/4th September, 2020 during the night. It involved a hijack that made all of the JH channels completely crash, all caused by Harmonica.

The JH
At around 9:48pm on 3rd September, The JH unexpectedly crashed, as The Random Hour was about to play. Harmonica announced that another channel was to be replaced by another network, following TRH. An airing was interrupted by Harmonica seconds later, to say The JH is going bankrupt, only for the airing to finally go back to normal.

A minute into the episode later (after Lillian's introduction), the episode glitched and sped up, as was The JH's logo at the time. A screen popped up saying "We are so sorry for this transmission error and we are hoping to get things back to the way it should be. If not, we're completely screwed, thanks to Harmoni-DORK. JH2 and JH Circle are still on the air (and hoping CJH is available). JH Player may be completely fine, but only to JCast and Boo Bear Cable customers". The channel quickly signed off from there.

JH Circle
JH Circle was playing a classic film, meanwhile, only for the picture to freeze. The announcer announced a quick sign off announcement (to trick Harmonica to not hack it), following said quick closedown a few moments later.

JH2
Over at JH2, an airing of HeX|Beta paused, due to a news report about the incident with Jacob trying to find the suspect and further states that a virus has been planted at the television centre. After the report, JH2 immediately signed off the air for the same reason as JH Circle.

Children's JH
The following day, an airing of Pingu on CJH was interrupted by Harmonica announcing the virus destroying every JH network, with Pingu glitching out. A screen reading "We apologise for the technical fault, but we will try and fi it as soon as we can. By that, we mean we are having a transmission error. More information may be available on The JH's website and Telelogue" showed up, following a quick close.

JH Listen/JHplayer
Later on, JH Listen suffered the exact same as a late show was about to air, but quickly shut down also. At the TV centre, Harmonica makes sure the virus gets through, and crashes JH Player (this was announced the next day on The JH). Further news remained on The JH's news website.

Aftermath and Cultural Impact
On 5th September, at 4pm, JH2 finally signs back on with no trouble. JH Circle also reaches transmission and signs on, as with The JH.

The JH then has an announcement that Lillian Alexia and Lime Swirl have fixed the issue, followed by an airing of The Adventures of Lime Swirl. Further information mentions that JH Player and JH Listen are brought back on the air. Harmonica returns and promises to never do the huge mistake again and mentions Remotica forcing him, and Harmonica gets fired despite his apology.

JH News would later broadcast the incident a day later, at 6pm. No evidence of the airing has been found yet.
