A funny CBS-2 moment

In the morning I watched the CBS-2 (Los Angeles CBS, which I get from my Direct TV) coverage of Michael Jackson. But later on, I switched to my computer to access the CBS-2 website.

I logged onto the streaming video, and when they went to a local commercial, my screen went blank. But I could still hear the news anchors talking! And the funny part was the female anchor was chewing out the male anchor! She said something like "Don't you yell at me". I have the feeling that they had no idea that the audio was still going out over the internet.

After about 90 seconds I heard a cell phone ring and then a bit later the audio went dead. Looks like someone told them what was going on!

Some funny stuff! (and this could only happen in Los Angeles).

Why could it only happen in Los Angeles? Type "tv news bloopers" into youtube and see how many results come up for tv stations all over the country.

But yeah, CBS 2 was having issues during the MJ memorial coverage. I was flipping between CBS and KTLA and CBS kept having communication problems with its corespondents. I hate that.

I was on MSNBC. I took the day off from work and I just had MSNBC on and I was surprized to see the whole Michael Jackson funeral come on. I thought it would be at night. I got tired of the coverage but the funeral was really well done.
