Stu Peters Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I disagree Woolley, everybody at M.R. cares, but sometimes trying to juggle a number of balls in the air at once means that one is sometimes dropped. I don't know who was on duty, but the late shift is often just one person taking clips from recorded interviews, writing scripts, editing videos, reading the news, answering phones and the front door. Mistakes happen, but it seems this one was corrected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a poor excuse if the basics aren't up to scratch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the same mistake was repeated on the broadcast news at 11 pm, and then again at midnight.(Plus another glaring mistake, when the wrong sound bite was played, and the girl didn't even appear to notice.)

the stinking enigma Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 On the 5 o clock news there was a report about the babes in the wood killer being sentenced then a cue to a statement by the chief inspector in charge of the investigation but instead a very loud advert for shoprites meat counter came on.

Mistakes happen, but it seems this one was corrected. I can understand that if something received at the station was factually incorrect, Stu. Obviously it might be some time before that is corrected. But to read out a sentence that is self-contradictory several times and to put it on the website? Well, that is poor and I don't think that YOU would do that. You would announce, on air if necessary, that it didn't look right and correct it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horwood2018 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 This has to be the most explosive interview. It looks like Manx Radio don't like the Question Paul Moulton puts to them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that van is looking tatty (I bet they get a new van rather than a new decal. It's only taxpayers' money).
