An employee at a Corpus Christi, Texas news station has been fired, and others suspended or reprimanded, after a live broadcast was interrupted with a vulgar and disturbing audio clip. "We sincerely regret the error and apologize to our viewers that were watching on Monday evening," KRIS Communications, an NBC affiliate, wrote in a statement. During a report about the area’s new Harbor Bridge, the screen abruptly cut to black in the middle of Monday night's broadcast, and a male voice could be heard whispering obscenities. “Smell it, finger it, f--- it, lick it, smell it,” the voice says in the video below. The statement noted that it was a male station reporter’s voice in the audio, but did not give further details as to his identity.
