Global B.C.’s News Hour live broadcast from English Bay yesterday evening was interrupted when a man with his own camera walked in front of the T.V. station’s camera.
At the time, news anchor Chris Gailus and reporter Rumina Daya were discussing updates on the English Bay oil spill.
Gailus repeatedly asked the man to step out of the camera view, but he ignored the pleas and remained steadfast at his position. The control room was eventually forced to send back the broadcast to the Burnaby studio, where Robin Stickley was on standby.

Another good reason for labelling professional protesters and taking legal action against them. It’s not that they believe in a cause, they just want attention. Ignore them and they’ll go away. Don’t give them face time if you can avoid it.
The media needs to be monitored.
