Speculation over whether slurring news anchor was drunk

Perhaps she was very tired or just having a bad day. But speculation is rife that a local news anchor presented a live broadcast while drunk on air.

Annie Stensrud, a reporter on KEYC-TV in Mankato, Minnesota, slurred and mixed up her words during a 10pm broadcast on Sunday night.

The CBS affiliate has not yet explained her bizarre performance, which finished after three minutes as the station moved on to weather and sport. She has been anchoring weekend evening broadcasts for a year and her Sunday show had been cut down because of an over-running NFL game.

In one of the strangest segments, Ms Stensrud says: ‘Today’s event featured Christmas fo… music, food and a chance to meet the Santa dog. They felt three ways for Christmas…parents and grandparents,’ Ms Stensrud adds, as she speaks over a man giving a pre-recorded interview.
