It does happen.
I've left the IFB open before and had some pretty raw language go straight
into the talent's ear. Made for interesting broadcasts.

so what? first responders laugh at this stuff all the time. This guy did it on air; lots of people die, gallows humor is a way people deal with it.

Its different for a first responder or a family member.....not a news anchor sitting comfortably in a television studio.

yeah it sounded like someone off camera was making him laugh, he didn't sound like a sicko making fun of the tragic accident.

He is located in Roanoke VA.  I have stopped watching both local news shows due to a lack of time and complete disgust at the quality of the reporting.  I find this guy and his crew to be more watchable than the cut and dry competition.  Either way, they both suck.

I cannot believe that.
He and whomever was making him laugh should be let go immediately.

That's a major over reaction.  Silly shit happens at work, reporting is just a job.

Well, I just think there's a time and a place. That was neither the time nor the place.

Control room conversation is one of the few things I missed about live TV...I could drop the F-Bomb all day long because everyone knew it as simple stress relief
