That day the teleprompter died live on channel 5 news was gold

Weather guy was pointing at a green screen map while describing 'sunny skies' but the feed was showing a blizzard warning graphic from 2018. Has anyone else caught a station flub that bad?

Hold on, live TV messes up all the time and it's honestly what makes it entertaining instead of boring. Those smooth, perfect broadcasts we get every other day are fake and rehearsed, so a little chaos reminds us real people are running the show. Without these flubs, local news would be just a robot reading a script, right?

Right, "a little chaos reminds us real people are running the show" is exactly it. It's nice to see the human side of things for a change instead of some perfectly polished act.
