You would think they'd know English - it's their job after all - but far too many of them don't. I'm forever correcting them (which drives OH nuts). I heard one woman the other day who said that a programme would be broadcast at 'midnight thirty'! Eh!
There used to be a pronunciation dept. at the BBC for tricky words etc..
A newsreader the other day referred to Ska Fell as scaffel. :(
