ANN7 covering Kenya Westgate shopping mall shooting: 'There seems to be some technical difficulties,' says presenter after multiple mistakes.



ANN7 (DStv 405) remains sadly, laughably, terrible; with the amateur "Gupta News" 24-hour South African TV channel on DStv continuing its eye-rolling, on-air disaster fest such as over the past weekend.

ANN7 was not only late on Saturday to cover the shooting and unfolding hostage drama in the Westgate shopping mall in Nairobi, Kenya, compared to other 24-hour TV news networks, but did this kind of cringe, mistake-riddled broadcasting.

Even late night amateur campus radio DJ's are better than what ANN7 shows DStv subscribers - at least radio listeners can't see a presenter deciding to touch her hair when there is so many "technical difficulties" including sound, video, insert, timing and phoner link problems that she doesn't know what to do.
