The anchor didn’t return once the weather was done, however, as co-workers had called 9-11 and she was sent away to a hospital
On Sunday Chin said doctors told her she had suffered the ‘beginnings’ of a stroke, and confirmed she was okay and would be returning to work soon
An Oklahoma news anchor suffered the beginnings of a stroke on air, leaving her stumbling over her words and forced to cut the broadcast short on Saturday morning.
Julie Chin, of Tulsa NBC affiliate KJRH, was delivering a story about NASA’s cancelled Artemis-I launch when she suddenly found herself unable to speak the words she was reading off her teleprompter.
Bewildered and stuttering, Chin tried to push ahead with the broadcast but soon found herself completely unable to speak her script aloud.
‘I’m sorry, something is going on with me this morning and I apologize to everybody,’ she finally said, going off script and tossing the broadcast over to the weather team, ‘Let’s just go ahead and send it on to meteorologist Annie Brown.’
Brown seamlessly took over the broadcast as Chin could be heard trying to utter an apology off camera.
‘Julie we love you so much, we love you so much,’ Brown then said with a laugh as the broadcast cut to her, ‘We all have those days,’ Brown continued.
But it wasn’t just one of those days for Chin, who did not return to the airwaves after the weather was reported. Instead, colleagues in the newsroom called 9-11 and Chin was rushed to the hospital.
