American news channel CNN accidentally broadcast 30 minutes of hardcore pornography to bemused viewers in Boston on Thursday 24 November 10pm EST (4am GMT) after a 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.
