NY- There was a full moon on WNYW/Ch. 5 Sunday night – and not the kind they talk about during the weather report.

No, it was the human kind.

It occurred during a live report from correspondent Lisa Cabrera from Union Square on the pending immigrant boycott, scheduled for Monday afternoon.

Unbeknownst to Cabrera, while she did a live stand-up report during the station’s 10 p.m. newscast, a man walked behind her dropping his jeans.

For a few seconds, while Cabrera closed out her report, the guy strolled on camera, revealing his bare bottom.

Then he walked back, while pulling his pants up.

No one on the Karen Hepp and Dick Brennan-anchored newscast mentioned the incident.

“We did not receive any complaints regarding this incident,” a spokeswoman for the station said.

Calls or not to the station, the slow-moving moon again showed the perils of broadcasting live anywhere.

Viewers are already well aware of people standing, jumping, talking into cell phones, smiling and waving into the camera over the shoulders of an unsuspecting correspondent.

So much so, people in TV refer to cameras as $50,000 idiot magnets.

Likewise, for a while, the Opie & Anthony radio show, now heard mornings on 92.3 FM and on XM Satellite Radio, had encouraged fans to distrupt live TV shots.

Arthur Chi’en was fired from WCBS/Ch. 2 after using an expletive on live TV after one listener stood behind him holding a sign.

A couple of other correspondents here – and in cities around the country – also had live shots disrupted by the campaign.

The hosts, Gregg (Opie) Hughes and Anthony Cumia, scrapped the campaign in December after a listener fired an airhorn close to the ear of WABC/Ch. 7 correspondent Anthony Johnson.

There’s also the risk of something bad happening to a correspondent while broadcasting live.

Earlier this year, Ch. 7’s Ken Rosato and his cameraperson Barbara McAlick, were nearly run over by a tractor-trailer while broadcasting live, in the dark, in Jersey City.
