If she had done it in her bedroom, nobody would have cared, but because she did it on tv it was huge. My wife and I are becoming more concerned about this and are making an effort to drastically reduce the time that the kids spend watching it. Very frightening.

Oh my flipping gosh... That's terrible. It almost sounds like a very bad joke from SCARY MOVIE.... That actually happened...

What nation/channel did it occur on?

He did not specify, but it was in the mid-west in the 70's at some point.

Some people will do anything for a scoop. When a technical problem interfered with the orderly presentation of a story on her morning news show, this 30-year-old news anchor announced, "In keeping with Channel 40's policy of bringing you the latest in blood and guts and in living color, you are going to see another first attempted suicide." She then drew a revolver and shot herself in the head. Chubbuck expired 14 hours later in hospital.
