What Was the Funniest Local News Moment in 2012?

By Merrill Knox 

It was an interesting year in local news: there were a pair of anchors in Maine who quit on the air, a station in Chicago that got a little tripped up by a fake plane crash, and a brave anchor in Wisconsin who sparked a national dialogue on bullying with a pointed on-air editorial.

Here at TVSpy, we know there’s nothing more interesting, or funny, than live television. So we’re taking a look back at some of the more light-hearted moments this year. After the jump, watch some of our favorites. Let us know on our Facebook page what you think, and we’ll put it to a vote next week.
