And it was a mistake. We know this because the shooting script only had the TV report talking about Myers escape and the APB put out on him. (Although why that story would be broken through a live outside broadcast late on Halloween night is unclear, when we were told that the APB was put out the night before and the Haddonfield Sheriff has had this information since early during the day.) This was changed to reports of the murders in TV and radio because it raised the stakes of Michael's first scene in the movie. But they had already shot the movie so they had a problem. They attempted to fix it in the TV cut. But it is still a plot hole. And the TV cut sucks in other ways too.

Are you saying it’s a plot hole in the TV cut as well? If so, I don’t see how. Loomis and Bracket are driving around and then the Tramer scene happens. That’s when Brackett learns of his daughter’s death and then later on the news people show up at the Wallace house.
