He was in the middle of a commercial for some hearing aid outfit when out came what sounded like a big burp. Dandy Dan - put your investigative team on this and give us a full report.
First of all, Michael Mroziak is a reporter. Virtually all of his on-air contributions are pre-recorded. So, you're not hearing him cough on the air. i think you're confusing him with someone else you may be hearing.
Secondly, I bristle at your constant criticism of Mike Desmond. He is one of the hardest working reporters in the business.
Then replace Mroziak, Wozniak, whatever, with whoever is doing the morning news live, giving us temperatures in Olean. I don't know his name, I can only listen a few minutes before panhandling begins.
I don't care. Him sounding like he is half asleep is the least of that station's worries. There are NUMEROUS other reasons as to why that station is unbearable to listen to.
Did you guys figure out if Bauerle burped? If you aren't sure and you heard it live, you may need to see the audiologist he was advertising for.
