I don't know how it is with your local news, but around here it's a bunch of feckups, especially the ABC affiliate. Usually, hilarity ensues.

One time a guy was doing an intro to a story, standing in the pouring rain, and he thought he was throwing it back to some videotaped report. The tape never came on, and we saw him gaping for a full minute or so before he said "What? What happened?" Then they cut away.

Another time, they screwed up their background pictures and showed a picture of a priest as they did a story on a local child molester. Then we saw court footage of a child molester as they talked about how a priest was being honored by his community.

It's not at all uncommon to hear audio accompanied by a blank gray screen and have them not figure out there's a problem for quite some time.

One guy was finishing up a report and was supposed to be sending it back to the anchors...but the camera never cut away, and he got pissed off. He just stood there glaring at the camera before doing an exaggerated shuffle and hip-swivel and practically shouting, "BAAAAAAACK to YOU!" Eventually they went back to the anchors.

Damn they look inept.
