BRACE YOURSELVES

Oh gosh CNC 3 Early Morning Show, can't you get it right?!
Once again there is a grammatical error in the scrolling news ticker at the bottom of the screen for more than half an hour: "India brace for torch protests".
Steups!
It should be "India braces for torch protests", or you could write "Indian authorities brace for torch protests".

Who writes and checks these things? We know it's early in the morning, but you should get people who don't sleep on the job; that's the impression you are giving your viewers.
Or, god forbid, is it that the people who are doing the job just can't spell or are just not too good with the English language?
Please fix this recurring problem.

Update: the bad grammar ran for the entire two-hour show.
