Perhaps as a companion piece to the infamous Joe Moore "I'm fed up with this crap!" outburst (video here), I bemusedly present several painful, awkward, yet irresistably entertaining minutes from KHON's 6 p.m. newscast last night:
Smooth as Sandpaper
Things went off the rails from the opening moments, and subsequent control room fumbles made a mess of the entire broadcast. Dropped sound, missing video clips, wrong graphics... and a return from commercials that wasn't. Jai Cunningham and John Veneri were gobsmacked at just how badly things were going. By the sports segment, it was a lost cause.
"I'll tell you what, folks," Veneri said at one point. "This really sucks."
So much was missing from the newscast, Cunningham and Veneri found themselves babbling about Michelle Wie to fill over 90 seconds of space at the bitter end.
