Filter Fumble During Weather Report
During a special broadcast about a snowstorm, Justin Hinton, formerly from WLOS ABC 13, became an unexpected sensation. Engaging viewers through Facebook Live, he unknowingly activated the Mystery Mask filter, adorning his serious report with unusual effects. Unaware of his new look, he continued, only realizing the mishap as viewer comments flooded in.
This accidental blend of weather news and digital masks turned the segment into a hit. The station later highlighted the humorous incident, acknowledging the mix-up with a playful nod to the perils of live digital reporting. It was a memorable reminder that even news can use a touch of unexpected fun.
