CTV apologises for Jess's F-word in Channel Report

CHANNEL TELEVISION has apologised to viewers after presenter Jess Dunsdon was heard to use the F-word during yesterday's edition of Channel Report.

CTV broadcast division managing director, Karen Rankine said the incident had resulted from a technical error and that footage from a rehearsal earlier in the day had inadvertently found its way into the live broadcast.

'It was not a live moment in the programme,' she said.

'It was said in error in the studio and for some reason it found itself onto our server and into the broadcast

'It's regrettable and our presenters did apologise on air, but once it's out, it's out.

'This was not something our presenters would ever do when they were live on air.'
