More Radio Live Incompentencies - 15/06/2006

Another rejoinder. I really do hope Radio Live clean up their act. Here're another two examples of the sheer incompetency of their news service. I had to listen to only a single broadcast to pick up these. From the 9am news broadcast 15/06/2006 ------ Regarding the story of some Air New Zealand staff being accused of giving away travel privileges for sex. - "Air New Zealand was informed of the alleged breach by a New Zealand magazine she [Air NZ's spokesperson] won't name" Well Newstalk ZB and National Radio managed to name Investigate as the magazine in question on their 6am broadcasts! The information was all over major news websites by 9am as well. Radio Live desperately need to get their act together. ------ Regarding the story of violence breaking out between German and Polish football fans. - 'Polish and German fans have fought running battles in the streets of Munich, where their teams are scheduled to play....mmmm....teams played at 7 o'clock this morning' The newsreader quickly corrected the mistake that the teams hadn't played yet. The game being over by 9am. But another error somehow found itself into the broadcast. The game took place in not in Munich, but in Dortmund (about 600km away). Maybe before Radio Live broadcasts international stories they should do a quick check of BBC World. Might as well check Radio NZ for the accuracy for New Zealand stories while they're at it. At least that way they might get something right.
