On Fox 17 News at Ten we don't do a lot of "talk backs" with our live reporters in the field unless there's breaking news with facts that might not have been covered in their taped report.
That's not the case at all stations. Sometimes, they like to ask questions just because they can, or to prove they're working with a national correspondent.
Here is a great example of a local anchor tossing a Fox News Channel reporter under the bus with a totally unrelated question following his story. Rick Leventhal does a good job not making them look stupid, but watch his reaction after the live shot. Funny Stuff.
Enjoy,
