New Delhi: A local news channel in Washington State accidently aired 13 seconds of pornoraphic video during a weather report broadcast on Sunday. The incident took place when meteorologist Michelle Boss was informing the viewers of the pleasant weather in the state when the unrestrained video appeared on a screen.
Boss was reporting, “The state was expecting some bonus days of nice weather after a gorgeous weekend of mild temperatures”, and seemed entirely unaware of the objectionable clip being played in the upper left corner of the screen.
Neither Boss nor her co-anchor Cody Proctor acknowledged the video. Later, a censored video clip on the broadcast was shared online, that went viral on some social media platforms.
Hours later, KREM apologized for the incident with the statement, “An inappropriate video aired in the first part of the show. We are diligently working to make sure something like this doesn’t happen again”.
