Michigan Station Apologizes for ‘Cock’-y Daylight Saving Time Error

WNEM, in Saginaw, Mich., has apologized for accidentally making an anatomical reference when reminding its viewers to prepare for Daylight Saving Time tonight.

The station had intended to tell viewers to “Turn your clocks back one hour tonight,” but instead someone forgot to include the “l” in the spot that ran on-air today, sending a much different message than intended:
