Bears show up for a newscast!!


A TV station in Scranton, PA has a landscaped "Backyard" behind the station so live shots can be done easily. The meteorologist at the station got a surprise monday night as he was about to do a live weather report outside in the Backyard.

So, on Monday night, just before the weather segment, a mother black bear and 3 cubs entered the Backyard at WNEP.  Meteorologist Kurt Aaron said he heard a sound and turned around to see the bears only a few feet away from him.  Needless to say he did the forecast from indoors, but with some cool, live, shots of the family of bears.  The station reports that they get "critters" in the Backyard but this was the first time bears made an appearance on live television.  This is quite the uniqe experience, but it is one that we wont experience here in the QCA.
