I saw that.  It was amusing.  (Never assume the mike is off, never 
assume the camera isn't on you!)  But I gotta tell you many weekend 
newscasts are like that-- maybe it's because they have the "weekend 
warriors" running the equipment, but I see really jaw-dropping 
mistakes on 5 and on 4, and even occasionally on 7.  Lack of training 
of the weekend staff?  Equipment glitches?  Who knows?
