TV news viewers in Albany, New York, were left stunned this past weekend when they tuned in: Heather Kovar, an anchor with CBS6 Albany, appeared on a live broadcast, which has been described as a total trainwreck, US media reports.

Clips of Kova’s bulletin have been shared on social media, showing the news anchor slurring and often going off script and sounding completely incoherent

At one point while trying to shifting between segments during her broadcast, Kovar said, “And so, moving on tonight, is we have to tell you also, you know, like other news that’s happening in the area, and across the area, in the nation.”

VIEWERS CONCERNED OVER NEWS ANCHOR

The news anchor, who has since been suspended, blamed sleep deprivation for her disastrous on-air bulletin. Kova said she was exhausted after having taken a leave of absence over her father’s death.

She wrote in a May Facebook post that “the station has graciously allowed me to take some time off to be with my family in Texas.” He passed away that month, according to her social media.

Viewers expressed concern for Kova following the broadcast, some even asking whether she was on drugs.

“I hope heather ok…she looks a wreck and she is slurring,” someone wrote on Twitter.
