I concur. It was probably on some blooper show. The key indicator is the ABC logo watermark during the commercial. The network and station logos are never displayed during the commercials that provide the station’s revenue. The only time a commercial will have the station or network logo is if it’s shown as part of an actual show as opposed to a paid advertisement.
I only see an ABC logo throughout? Then again, I would have no idea what to look for in an MSNBC logo, but I do know that the ABC one shows the whole time.
Something fishy about this one. That’s an ABC logo in the bottom right… but the anchor is Chris Jansing who works for NBC/MSNBC, and has worked there for years. This story is from 2006, but at the time she was at NBC/MSNBC… not ABC.
Wow, that’s more than your average amount of research done when posting on Fail Blog. Most comments resort to ordinal indicators, body cavity references, or communist bloc idiocies.
I don’t know about MSNBC, but the “CNBC Business” ticker on an ABC station seems a bit unlikely…..besides, when do you see station identifiers on commercials? Just wonderin…..
This was recorded by Sammy Mc. D. of the faculty line. Some person flew the archive over here, and then they reposted via the wire. I’m not sure why they decided that this way was best, but obviously they are a smart bunch with the right kind of ideas. I reckon we all just take it.

Good call. ABC airs a number of those blooper shows.
Yeah, you’re right. They had to freaking fake it. You could do this with anything that’s in the newsthat also has an ad.
fake fail?

Look right after “TECH NEWS” it transforms to MSNBC
Not only that but during commercials usually the logo of the channel is not on the screen.
