Everybody loves hump day, and these newscasters are hoping for a dry one.

Ed Dague, a local icon for television news, passed away on Sunday. The Times Union reported that the famous anchor passed away at the age of 76.  Ed Dague was a face known to the likes of CBS, NBC, and WNYT.  He also however in his later years became known unfortunately for suffering from the chronic illness ankylosing spondylitis...

Anchor, am I using that correctly?

Kristi Capel, a newscaster at WJW-TV Fox 8 in Cleveland, is probably going to want this one back. On Monday while talking about Lady Gaga's performance at The Oscars, where she sang a musical medley tribute to "The Sound of Music," it seemed like Capel was trying to pay Lady Gaga a compliment. But she failed miserably.

Mistakes happen when you record the news live. Most of the time it's no big deal, but sometimes something glorious happens.

When you tune into the local news, you may expect them to report on stories like this, but you definitely don't expect them to BE stories like this.

While reporting live from the scene of the MH17 disaster, the Malaysia Airlines flight that was shot down last Thursday near the Ukraine-Russia border, CNN's "New Day" co-anchor Chris Cuomo made a very poor choice when talking about some of the theories surrounding the plane's demise.

Apparently Justin Bieber is giving out hummers.  The cars you perverts, not that other thing.  Well this news anchor was jealous that Justin Bieber was handing out hummers to others while he was left high and dry.  So he reveals to his co-anchor that he would in fact like a hummer from Justin Bieber.  The Rolling Stones said it best, you can't always get what you want, but at least he asked.

In this particular news segment these ladies are focused on sausage- a sausage fest, if you will- and you can tell it has a bit of an effect on them.  You might be able to call it a real life Schweddy Balls moment if you want, but not only are they talking about how much they love sausage, she also happens to drop a certain word you can't say on TV while promoting the event.  Not once, but twice.

Unlike in radio, when it comes to television you have to have a pretty face. Here in the Albany area we are blessed with many beautiful women who have the job of bringing us the latest news. There are five local news outlets to watch and each of them brings the hotness with their female anchors and reporters...

After flubbing a couple lines during a news report, Knoxville Channel 8‘s Gordon Boyd (apparently thinking he was no longer on camera) threw a tantrum on live TV. Boyd glared angrily at the camera, bit his lip and threw his notepad to the ground in a fit of frustration while the camera continued to roll.

When breaking news occurs, mistakes are bound to be had. Unfortunately, one local news anchor for Washington, D.C., Fox affiliate WTTG learned this the hard way last night while reporting on the killing of terrorist leader Osama bin Laden.
