Savannah CBS affiliate WTOC had a bit of an oopsie during last night's evening newscast... pic.twitter.com/btZi4bXIll— Awful Announcing (@awfulannouncing) August 14, 2025HuffPost reached out to WTOC for comment, but no one immediately responded.Mediaite did offer some grace to the WTOC chyron operator by noting that “X” and “S” are pretty darn close on QWERTY keyboards. No video of the unfortunate typo appears on the station’s website, but, not surprisingly, the clip has gone viral ― and is inspiring some pretty ballsy comments on social media.Advertisement
