American news channel CNN accidentally broadcast hardcore pornography for 30 minutes to bemused viewers in Boston on Thursday 24 November 10pm EST (4am GMT) after an expensive mistake made by US digital cable TV provider RCN.
RCN provides CNN's broadcasting in the city and although viewers were tuning in for a new episode of Anthony Bourdain's ‘Parts Unknown’, an American travel and food show, presumably presented by a man of the same name, the unknown parts bit of it was a lot more than viewers were expecting.
The scheduled programming was replaced with explicit material.
According to The Independent, only viewers in the city of Boston experienced the mistake, because one viewer voiced her concerns on Twitter.
The video was aired 4am GMT.
“ I can't wait until [RCN] wakes up [tomorrow] & realises that hardcore porn was broadcast on [CNN] instead of [Parts Unknown] tonight ,” the user wrote.
An hour later, the CNN channel was taken off-air.
