A bad day in the news gallery? Talkback recording of everything going wrong during The One O'Clock News from the BBC in 1986: Part One, Part Two, Part Three. Unless of course, this was a typical day ... "I haven't got any scripts Mike! How am I supposed to run a show?" "Animate quantel or whatever you want to do..." [via]
Cut to commercial!! oh wait...

That's pretty mild stuff really, by the standards of news gallery disasters - it all held together on air fairly well.

I really wish US television had continuity announcers. Or someone who just sits at a microphone in case something screws up.

"Is the sound real or post-editing comedy?"
It's all real. There'd be more jokes if it was parody I think.

Bob Schieffer capably deals with a meltdown off the top of this 1977 edition of the CBS Evening News.

Here are some CNN blooper reels (with director's audio track -- NSFW language) and a few other miscellaneous bloopers from other networks thrown in to boot. 1 2 3 4

It would be nice to hear the soundtrack as transmitted, just for comparison.
