Apparently he missed the memo to consider all mics "open and live."

KRDO/Channel 13 meteorologist Matt Meister was suspended Wednesday 
after a live microphone caught him using obscenities.

Meister had just done a weather update Tuesday night during a 
commercial break when his voice was heard over an episode of 
"According to Jim," an ABC sitcom, using foul language to complain 
about an earlier audio problem.

Meister apologized for the incident during the station's 10 p.m. 
newscast and said he would accept the consequences of his actions.

KRDO general manager Neil Klockziem read a statement on the station's 
5:30 p.m. and 10 p.m. newscasts on Wednesday, saying Meister would be 
suspended while the incident is investigated. Former KRDO 
meteorologist Mark Nelson filled in for Meister on Wednesday.

"His use of vulgar language even when he thought his mike was turned 
off was contrary to station policy and unacceptable," Klockziem said 
on the newscast. "He has been suspended without pay while we review 
the full details of what happened last evening."
