Yes, that is how live broadcast works!

If you travel with a news crew, you learn that there are several takes before the real broadcast. Sometimes, a take is so good that they "memorex" the "live" broadcast.

In this case, there was a delay from the studio that put the broadcast off by 15 minutes or so. This is not unusual either, especially with news desks. Either way, the crew never got to finish the pump and that made a better story than what they were there for.

CUT - Print it!
