Sorry, I was wrong-the TVB newsreader read it as bin6nik1. I also asked a native speaker and I was told that it was pronounced bin6nik1.
The character page lists nik1 and nik6 as variant readings.
However, if you do a search for 便溺 as a chinese word, you get bin6niu6. But the character page says niu6 is the reading when it means urine/to urinate.
Is it true that bin6nik1 is the most common reading, because if no one pronounces it as bin6niu6, that will confuse learners.
