Audio Glitch

Hello
I am submitting a small clip of a film I just started to work with . This video is from a studio shoot for a television session recorded in 1990. The film has an audio glitch here and there.
The audio in this segment begins with Don's listenable articulation and then about 14 seconds into this segment there is a definite glitch. Is that because of a faulty line feed?
I need to inform management at this non profit organization that that audo discrepancy is because of a wiring glitch -or a poorly transfered video from master to copy master - or something other.
Let me know if you have an insight into this audio glitch - that may be unrepairable.
Thanks!

It's not just an audio break - it's a total transmission break. If you watch carefully, you'll see line disturbances on the picture that correlate with the audio breaks. What we can't tell is what caused it, because we have insufficient information about the transmission or copying path. But if you were to ask me to guess - it doesn't look like the sort of error you'd get from a wiring fault. It's more like a signal break in a transmission path. If, for instance, this was sent over any sort of shared line system that involved any sort of connection with the internet, then that would be the most likely culprit. It doesn't look like the sort of error you'd get from a straight video transfer - there's got to be an uncontrolled path involved somewhere in this.

This event was a live broadcast over a cable network channel.

A cable network channel on its own could certainly cause this sort of problem - ours certainly does!
