A local NBC affiliate, KOAA-TV, is worried about getting national publicity (possibly negative)? That seems like a very odd concern and conclusion for a company whose entire existence relies on attracting as many eyeballs as possible.
I wonder if they found out about the video that @ShockBand: posted and that has more to do with it?

Fired newscaster Justin Kraemer pokes fun in video
After getting fired from KSN just before Christmas – and after the week-long whirlwind that turned him into an international viral video star quieted down – former anchor Justin Kraemer found himself with a lot of … free time.
He filled it producing and starring in a video that poked fun at his own predicament, and now that’s gone viral, too.
The video, all three minutes and 45 seconds of it, is posted on YouTube under the title “Lemonade: The Kansas Anchorman Tribute.” Since Kraemer posted it last week, it’s been viewed nearly 22,000 times and has been featured by some of the same international publications that originally joined in the coverage of his on-air expletive, including the London Daily Mail.
To review, Kraemer and his co-anchors had just wrapped up the Saturday, Dec. 14, 10 p.m. newscast. As the closing credits ran, Kraemer could be heard muttering, “Let’s get the (expletive) out of here.” The following Monday, Kraemer was fired from KSN, but the incident had made international news.
