Transitions in TV news can be extremely difficult. A presenter or weatherman could go live without realizing it if the required notification isn’t given! Technical difficulties caused the BBC to cut to meteorologist Tomasz Schafernaker early in 2018, which is exactly what occurred.

He was unaware that thousands of people were watching him stray off-screen, pick at his clothing and nails, and even lose his cool when there was a communication breakdown. Even meteorologists have bad days sometimes!
