I've seen some strange snafus on CTV's newscasts these past few months, but this one I don't understand at all. 

Anchor Nathan Downer threw to a sad story about a Canadian who was killed just after arriving in Costa Rica. Before the story started, he intoned, "CTV's Allison Hurst has more." 

The story started and the person narrating the story wasn't Hurst at all, but Downer himself. Surely if he'd put together this piece and done all the accompanying narration, he would have known it was his story and didn't belong to anyone else. So why did he use her name?

Equally odd was that, during the story, Downer referred to the country at one point as Costa Rico, with an "o" not an "a." And apparently no one caught it. 

But it's the first part that has me baffled. How do you throw to your own news report that you laboured to put together and credit someone who isn't even in it? I worked in TV news a very long time and I've never, ever seen that happen.
