How Did Chris May End Up in This Situation: Was He Fired?
NBC News anchor Chris May and meteorologist Barry Brandt have been suspended for donning afro wigs during an on-air storey to commemorate the end of a heatwave as temperatures plunged into the 1970s.
Their suspension was announced on September 16th, according to the Washington Post, after they were caught wearing wigs during their ten o'clock newscasts.
It was a feature where on-air characters claimed to be popular in the 1970s, and it aired on the Fox network. Organizers hoped to use the event to mark the return to normal temperatures of 70 degrees after a 90-degree heatwave throughout the summer and a triple digit day in early September.
Furthemore, the station's parent company, Sinclair Broadcast Group, has dismissed veteran news director Nick Genty and suspended May and Brandt indefinitely from their positions at the station.
