Sinclair Anchor Slurs Way Through Newscast

FTVLive got a lot of emails about WRGB (Albany) Anchor Heather Kovar’s performance during the Saturday evening newscast.

Kovar not only slurred her words but at times was almost not making any sense as to what she was saying.

It was surprising that the Sinclair station continued to let the newscast go on as it was clear that Kovar was having difficulty just speaking.

Not sure what was happening in the control room, but I can say that if I was producing that newscast, I would have just dumped into a break and got someone to replace Kovar on the set.

Even bringing the weather person on to read the news would have been better than what happened.

Looking through the WRGB Twitter account it does not appear that they addressed the issue with their Anchor.

But, after Saturday’s slurring newscast, Kovar was not back on the air on Sunday. Station insiders say that she has been suspended while Sinclair investigates.

I have a feeling that some meetings will be taking place later today.

Here is a portion of the newscast so you can see just how bad it was.
