[tizztehwizz]

this video needs moar death metal?

[topher90210]

i work in White Settlement. the name was chosen in the 1850s to distinguish the village of white settlers from a grouping of seven villages occupied by Native Americans.

[msandel]

No, White Settlement really was established by, and for, white folks. There was a referendum to change the name of the city in the last year or two, to escape that legacy, but it failed.

[jflinn210]

FAIL!!

[josealberto2008]

these are the things that makes the news worth watchin lol

[soadluvr8]

this was oooooold.

troy retired a long time ago.

[sevillaparasol]

Well shit happens and they handled it well. Great to see Great faces bring us the news.

[zetina2010]

Woo! Hoo! Go Pete & Troy!!! =D

[jdcnow]

"White Settlement" is a suburb just west of Fort Worth, TX

This was hilarious, and here's how it all happened: All of the Big 4 stations here in North TX were following a police chase in progress. This breaking news took up so much time during the 10pm news that it forced all the stations to basically scrap all of their originally planned stories at the last minute. WFAA made a last-minute call to toss to weather. Troy and Pete Delkus were unprepared to be tossed to, and the rest is history.

[Triple3Deuce2]

wow, i wonder why its called that...must be alot of white roses growing there huhh...oh no i think that is where the slaves were but fucked by old mr joe.

[nfest8]

"white settlement" wtf was that?

[jdogclf]

don't let that fool you, it's full of lazy ass section 8 niggas

[3rdPR]

I understand it was named for a guy named White.  Put down the cross and torches until you're called for.

[oneloveskateshop]

the best one was them reporting live from mystiqal on 2-2-2008, a guy gets on the stage with the reporter and gives the camera the both fingers. he manages to jump down right when the reporter turns around...earlier in the broadcast he gets petlted by mardi gras beads.i had it dvr'd but magically it got erased...then last week while dirk nivinski was being interviewed you can hear someone in the studio saying the f word...i have this one and will upload it at a later time..

[craftsmandave]

Failed bit warning listed as severe for channel and 8 and belo

[LazyLimonada]

omg, this is terrible lmao

theyre always messing up tho, but this, this is just horrible.

[Cowboystrader]

Great job Troy & Pete and the two talents at the desk handling the problem! I can only imagine what the news director was saying in everyone's mics!

[pnutbutrncrackers]

"Come on over, Pete" -- great.

[gbbg43]

i love wfaa!

[echavajm1978]

They did a great job at handling the problem!!!

[rubberduckyalliance]

...And that's why we DON'T watch WFAA.

[gpciie]

I love the off-camera remarks. Two seconds in: "We're live!" Eight seconds in: "Back to a two-shot, we don't have it. We don't have it." God, I miss Chip Moody and Tracy Rowlett.

[ladonna17]

Now that's an emergency break..

[bobowayney]

an e-break of the week

[contortionistjessi]

i love my dallas news!

[Roahn3]

George Bush isn't a Texan

[cpacowns]

this is so great

[GITSMAN]

godammit!!

[brockdanger]

WFAA in the post-Marty Haag era has gone down the toliet. What was once one of the best stations in the southwest has become a bottom of the barrel car chase and murder highlight reel.

[ChristiRich]

So that's what happened. I always wondered what caused their proverbial shift into tabloidism. Thanks.

[idolmonkey]

It's Dallas.

[hachibeach151]

You are absolutely right, and more power to ya. Texas needs more of you.

those complaining about unprofesionalism can suck the anchors' balls. I would love to have seen you handle this situation. Mistakes may happen, like in any other situation. What matters is that the channel handled it without any interruption.

[hachibeach151]

Yo, let me add this: how significant the mistake in terms of how many TVs are reached can also be a factor. In this case, the viewers in Austin have to be questioning the production during that part. If this was a national broadcast, it would be more severe an impression on the unprofessionalism on the network, even though it was unintended.

Food for thought when you're producing something for the Tiffany, Peacock, and/or Alphabet networks and beyond.

[indieproducer]

WFAA is widely respected in the industry for being consumate professionals, as they were in the way they ahndled this situation.

[NuJerseyDevil91]

this is the most un-professional broadcast ever they had nothin ready to go lol

[indieproducer]

Actually, it is the most professionally-handled live meltdown I have ever seen. At the station I work at, it would not have gone that well. WFAA is widely respected in the industry for being consumate professionals, as they were in the way they ahndled this situation.

[NuJerseyDevil91]

i know but its just funny how they bounced right back on track

[wbrinegar]

I consider this funnier than so-called bloopers. Grandmas falling down slides, people getting hit in the sack, other bloopers as such, not funny.

Local news screw ups... hilarious.

Okay, sack shots are also hilarious.

[dvs60]

i gota say they easly handeled the situation like their was nothing wrong. Most news anchors hit the deck when the shit hits the fan these guys just keep rolling with it.

[Invervegas]

Great cover from the weather anchor

[inu4moon4]

that's not a blooper, bloopers are funny this was more like a mistake

[hachibeach151]

The only Texan that sucks at life is George W. Bush. FACT.

[ecwforever]

FICTION! Bush rules you liberal moron. Go kill yourself.

[Dracowrath1]

um, what exactly went wrong?

[UserNameHidden]

poor

[FukitsuCargos]

I only saw one blooper in Texas when one of the casters cursed outloud.

I lived there; I should know.

This wasn't real good though.

[karismatichick]

[austinboy91]

Only in Tx can they fuck the news up so badly

[lilkenny25]
