    Could the anchor and reporter hear all that? If so, they deserve much kudos.

    Doubtful.

    Most operations record their airchecks with the director/producer track on a different channel from what goes over the air.

    What producers say over the IFB to the talent is also recorded on that track but judging from the lack of on-camera reaction, I'd say that they couldn't hear any of it.

    IMO, it sounds like a director berating the crew more than yelling at the woman in front of the camera (though she gets "caught in the crossfire", so to speak).

    Under deadline, I've cussed some of my best friends and they've cussed me.

    Then we went and had some beers.:matt:

    I tried Googling it to see if there were any reliable sources, and found a Free Republic thread that has been edited to read:

    This thread alone guarantees that more people saw that report on-line than watched it live on cable. :?:

    If they did this on the 6'o'clock news on a regular basis, I'd go back to watching TV newscasts.
