Peter Tanev, who presents weather reports on the national channel TV2, made his comments during the evening news.
Anchor Jes Dorp, commenting on an American survey that indicated friendship grows stronger over time, in contrast to marriage, joked that he and the weather presenter might fall in love.
Mr Tanev reacted immediately: "Now that's too much," he said
"That's pretty much disgusting."
Danish TV2 told PrideRadio.dk apologised for his comment.
It is not known if any action will be taken against Mr Tanev.
