Weather reporter told to cover up live on-air

Meteorologist Liberte Chan was asked to put on a sweater while on the air during Saturday morning's weather report on Los Angeles' Tribune Broadcasting station KTLA. The incident, which Chan handled with aplomb, was quickly dubbed #Sweatergate on social media.
"We're getting emails," a voice says off-camera, while an arm hands her a gray cardigan. "Why? Because it's cold? I look like a librarian now," Chan replies but obligingly dons the sweater and ties it at the waist.
Chan said on Twitter that she had changed from a previous outfit because it "keyed out," meaning it didn't work well with the green screen in front of which weather reporters appear. "Can't beat a black beaded dress," she wrote on Twitter before the controversy broke out, with many on Twitter observing that the incident seemed to be badly handled and embarrassing.
"Dating Naked" director of development Megan McGrath was one of the first to point out the apparent sexism on Twitter, saying she thought they had publicly embarrassed Chan. It's not Chan's first struggle with the green screen -- according to the Weather Channel, another dress caused an issue a few months ago, when the green screen caused a green dress to make her appear transparent.
KTLA had no comment.

That's not her fault. She's the weather girl, not a video tekkie. The production crew should have caught that before they went on air. The station should be supplying clothes/costumes that are appropriate to both the technology and the kooky culture that they serve.

I thought you lefties didn't objectify women. Your hypocrisy is showing. She does have nice tits.

Women with nice tits that show off their nice tits in that sort of manner are clearly proud of their nice tits. There ain't nothing sexist about being proud of the way you look, now is there?

As usual, its all about nothing. Simply dumb.


Too many people watching the entertainment industry and instead of listening are making judgements based on what they see rather than what they hear. I thought she looked fine.

Was in Cancun. Weather was great. Ate a lot of fresh seafood and plenty of authentic Mexican. Went diving, snorkeling, parasailing, to visit ruins at Chichen Itza, swam in some Cenotes (sinkholes), played some golf, relaxed on the beach. Had a great time, already booked again for my birthday in November.

How long do you go for?

Do you always go to Cancun?

Usually just a week at a time. It was actually out first trip to Cancun. We have always gone to Puerto Vallarta or Mazatlan before. Gotta say I did like the clear and warm water on the Caribbean side and we might be going there all the time now. The diving was absolutely amazing over there.
