I think the station has found a pretty smart way to do 2 things simultaneously.
1. They are able to make their talent seem more human and down to earth by showing that even they make mistakes. Who doesn't like to see an anchor/reporter mess up their live shot, fall in the mud, etc.
2. They drive up the traffic on their website which means more advertising revenue.
Pretty ingenious, really. |

I don't know any of those anchors or reporters, but after watching a few of those clips, I sure want to!
Bloopers are one of the few ways to project our humanity... along with our sense of humor.
I love the idea. As long as the people involved don't mid having their f-ups pusted, who cares. I would love for my station to do it! It would show viewers that we are not plastic Ken and Barbies.
Some would say there are credibility issues, but I disagree. I would much rather watch someone who has the ability to laugh at themselves than someone who sits there with a stick up the their arse pretending they are someone important.
Kudos to Ch. 2... a great way to increase web traffic and promote your talent as normal every day people like your viewers.
Thanks for the chuckle!
Don't forget the eye exam!
