Some viewers of David Muir’s show were not happy that their local news station interrupted it

Certain fans of David Muir were not happy with the delay to his evening new program.

The 51-year-old reporter hosts World News Tonight and it airs everyday on the ABC at 6:30 p.m. EST. For those who live in Syracuse, New York and watch NewsChannel 9 WSYR, it appears their reporting ran over into David’s show and some fans expressed their anger loud and clear about that. Based on one of the angry fans’ comment, the report that caused the delay seemed to involve a tornado warning for Oneida County until 6:45 pm

The fans took to X formerly Twitter to let their anger be known especially to the station as they tagged them in their tweets. One fan wrote, mentioning the station’s meteorologist, “@NewsChannel9 Jim Teske STFU! You’re on David Muir time now! WTF! #BrokenRecord #WEGOTIT!!!”

Another said, under NewsChannel 9’s tweet about the tornado warning. “Who gives a f—, put David Muir on.”

David host World News Tonight on ABC

David’s show on Thursday, September 4, began with him talking about Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Senate hearing on the same day. RFK was interrogated before the Senate Finance Committee over the firing of the director of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Susan Monarez, and his controversial views on vaccines.

David showed part of the hearing in which there was a spirited exchange between Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a Democrat from Massachusetts, about RFK’s claims that Monarez was untrustworthy.

“I told her that she had to resign because I asked her, ‘Are you a trustworthy person?’ And she said, ‘No,’” RFK Jr. said. “If you had an employee who told you they weren’t trustworthy, would you ask them to resign, senator?”

Warren replied that this is not what Monarez had said publicly and then started to bring up the op-ed which the former director wrote for The Wall Street Journal about RFK Jr. and her firing. In the op-ed, Monarez stated how she was pressured “to compromise science” and shared how she was told to reapprove the recommendations of a vaccine advisory panel filled with those who have publicly demonstrated anti-vaccine rhetoric.

RFK Jr. talked over Warren to say he was “not surprised” that Monarez did not confirm his allegations. Warren then inquired if the U.S Secretary of Health and Human Services is saying Monarez is “lying” and he replied, “Yes.”

“This is the same person that less than a month earlier you stood next to her, and described her as ‘unimpeachable,’ and you had ‘full confidence’ in her and that you had ‘full confidence’ in her scientific credentials. And in a month she became a liar,” Warren exclaimed.

David went on to break other news throughout World News Tonight like recent photos of former President Joe Biden’s bandaged head, a domestic violence suspect being arrested after a women signaled for help and The Sound of Music Turning 60.
