Pat Kiernan may be a NY1 anchor, but he's a Canuck first. On his website, Pat's Papers, he posted some screenshots from his morning broadcast, writing, "My producers at NY1 let me wear my Team Canada shirt for the top of our sports report after our 3-2 gold-medal win over Team USA last night. But they got the last word with some on-screen graphics."
He later revealed, "Assignment desk just got off the phone with a viewer who didn't understand the gag and wanted to complain that it's 'New York 1 and not Canada 1.'"
