Oops

An apparent miscommunication led to a very awkward moment during KSWB‘s morning show on Wednesday.  After setting up a satellite interview with a sex columnist, anchor Erica Fox was plugged into a feed with the wrong people (video above).

Fox maintained her composure though, and her co-anchor Raoul Martinez displayed a sign at the end of it all saying “We <3 you!”

The WAAF anchor desk appeared to swallow Stephen McLamb coming out of a commercial break on Saturday morning.

Tuning into WAAF’s morning newscast, viewers in Huntsville saw McLamb, who has been a reporter and weekend anchor at the station for a little over a year, frantically searching for his lavalier before falling off his chair (video above).

During last week’s Florida primary, WTEV reporter Catherine Varnum and her crew were reporting from outside Mitt Romney‘s campaign headquarters when two cars collided behind her live shot location (video above).

“It looks as though some kind of accident happened behind Catherine there,” Mark Spain, an anchor for the Jacksonville CBS-affiliate, said as Varnum stepped away from the camera. “We’ll check back with her and make sure everybody’s okay.” Read more

Does spelling count as a “technical difficulty”?  Little Rock CBS-affiliate KTHV apparently had some problems today.

A charter bus collided with a WCPO news van during a live press conference about the collapse at the Horseshoe Casino construction site in Cincinnati this afternoon (watch above).

In the above video, which is from Cincinnati Fox-affiliate WXIX, the bus can be seen driving very close to where reporters were gathered for the press conference. Although the briefing continued after the collision, it was stopped when the bus driver got off the bus and began to address the crowd.

“If this group of people would have moved out of my way, I wouldn’t have ran into this truck,” she told the reporters gathered. Read more

WCJB sports director Chris Price got a big surprise during a recent newscast when a Teleprompter rolled across the studio during a tease for his sports segment (watch above).

“Uh oh, here it comes,” Price said as the Teleprompter came toward him. “We’re going to be back with more fun stuff. You never know what’s going to happen here on WCJB.”

WGBA meteorologist Brian Niznansky got caught following the teleprompter a little too closely during the NBC-affiliate’s morning newscast today.

Niznansky apparently has a Ron Burgundy-esque commitment to the prompter and the morning show’s director had some fun with this fact by slipping in an “Anchorman” quote this morning.

“I love lamp,” Niznansky faithfully announced before realizing what had happened (video above). Read more

File this one under “honesty is the best policy.”

Transitioning from a story on high winds in the Palm Springs area, KPSP evening anchor Kris Long introduced “our favorite blowhard,” chief meteorologist Patrick Evans (watch above).

“That’s very generous of you to say, especially here in the Christmas holiday season,” Evans responded.

It was a rough morning in the KBOI control room last Friday. After a mix-up with the show’s graphics, a producer could be heard on-air dropping the f-bomb. Twice. [Via Buzzfeed]
