The Scoop That Aired Too Soon
≈ 4 min
Local retiree and beekeeper Marcus Fenn agreed to reveal the winning number of the Bayside Harbor Festival's charity raffle live on air at 9:00 AM — a secret held under seal by the festival committee. But at 8:52 AM, eight minutes before showtime, the number was already circulating outside the station, letting one early bettor scoop the prize before the announcement. Someone with access to the sealed envelope broke the confidence.
