TV station bitten by Google image search
Cory Bergman March 2nd, 2007
This blooper on YouTube shows what happens when an image grabbed from Google is rushed into an on-air graphic. Or, at least that’s what the YouTube uploader says happened. (Here’s the original, from my own Google search. Thanks, Andrea!)
Update: YouTube pulled the video after being contacted by WAGT-TV. This site has screen grabs from the clip. (Thanks, Corey.)

Do we know that said claim is also true of the wheat donut?

WAGT had YouTube remove the video, but not before it got digg and Fark’d to death on my site. You can still check out the screencap from the newscast there.

i see wagt is catching on. good for them.
didn’t they used to be an nbc(dialposition).com?
that wasn’t even that long ago if i recall.
now they are nbcaugusta.com
is this something nbc is doing because dial position is going the way of the leather buggy whip?
wagt happens to also be the proud owner of theaugustachannel(dot)com .
probably just a defensive move. but a smart one.
