Would there be a lot of viewers watching Verified Live with Matthew at that time of the day when it's on in the UK or even outside of it.
If you were to put a percentage of viewers that watched the error with the bad language in it coming from Belfast. How many of those viewers would lodge a direct complaint to the BBC to make an on air apology. It is definitely not something that you want to see frequently with the one of the most famous news broadcasters in the world. In an ideal world all of us as viewers of the newly merged BBC News Channel would prefer to see it as a blip and not see it happen again. Although if a error of judgement like that occurred more frequently with OB's in future; it should definitely warrant a serious discussion about it on Newswatch to try and clear up the mess.
That is Catriona Perry. I watched a clip of her presenting WNA on Youtube yesterday morning. She did ok for her first stint on that bulletin. But she herself had made a few errors in the broadcast of the programme which was done on either Tuesday or Wednesday night.
When she was co-presenting the RTÉ Six One News over in Dublin. She did handle the programme very well as she felt very much at ease with the role after doing that job for six years. When she went to apply for one of the roles of Chief Presenter of BBC News in Washington. Her background in getting the job was mainly having an interest in U.S. Politics.
If you starting your job with a new news broadcaster on the 1st day; it's probably normal to be nervous with having one or two errors here and there for a little while. But if you are either an experienced reporter or presenter it's definitely not normal to keep repeating the same mistakes when you are in it for the long term; your long time likability on screen with your viewers does start to become stale.
