Porn inter­rupts Super Bowl broad­cast in Tucson

Tuc­so­nans watch­ing the Super Bowl got more action than they bar­gained for when a short clip from an adult movie chan­nel inter­rupted Comcast’s feed with full male nudity dur­ing the final moments of the game. Officials at Com­cast said about 30 sec­onds from Club Jenna, an adult cable tele­vi­sion chan­nel, were shown on the local Super Bowl tele­cast. The com­pany was still work­ing Sun­day night to fig­ure out how it happened. Comcast had “no idea” at the time it hap­pened how the porn may have got­ten into its feed, said Kelle Maslyn, a com­pany spokeswoman.

The Star news­room was flooded with calls from irate view­ers who said that the porn cut into the game with less than three min­utes left to play, just after Ari­zona Car­di­nals player Larry Fitzger­ald scored on a touch­down pass from Kurt Warner to put the team in the lead. Callers said that the clip showed a woman unzip­ping a man’s pants, fol­lowed by a graphic act between the two. “I just fig­ured it was another com­mer­cial until I looked up,” said Cora King of Marana. “Then he did his lit­tle dance with every­thing hang­ing out.” Jeanene Piek said she was out­raged that her grand­daugh­ter had seen the clip. “I was in a state of shock. I am totally dis­gusted,” she said.

The Super Bowl was being shown locally on KVOA. The sta­tion sends its sig­nal to Com­cast through a fiber line, said KVOA News Direc­tor Kath­leen Choal. KVOA’s sig­nal didn’t have porn on it when the sta­tion sent it over to Com­cast, sta­tion pres­i­dent Gary Nielsen said. The com­pany will con­tinue to inves­ti­gate what hap­pened to its sig­nal, Nielsen said. Engineers at Com­cast will be work­ing through­out the night to deter­mine what hap­pened, Maslyn said. The porn broke into the standard-definition feed reach­ing ana­log TV sets. It appears the porn only reached homes in the Tuc­son area, but Com­cast did not know exactly how many homes were affected, Maslyn said.

Comcast’s high-definition feed was not affected. Maslyn did not know how many homes were affected.
Com­cast is the second-largest cable-television provider in South­ern Ari­zona and serves more than 80,000 cus­tomers in unin­cor­po­rated Pima County, Marana and Oro Val­ley.
Com­cast has set up an e-mail account to take feed­back from con­cerned cus­tomers. The address is comcasttucsonfeedback@gmail.com.

I obvi­ously was not in Tuc­son, but this is pretty awe­some. I don’t know why they pub­lished that e-mail address, because I def­i­nitely had some feed­back for them.

Dear Com­cast Tuc­son,
Thanks for the extra treat dur­ing the 4^th quar­ter — def­i­nitely helped me and the boys cel­e­brate (tem­porar­ily at least). Just when I thought that TV pro­gram­ming was going down the tubes you guys pull this out (no pun intended). I know some peo­ple think you com­mit­ted a “Car­di­nal” sin, but we’re all mam­mals – what’s the big deal? It’s rea­sons like this I haven’t switched to satel­lite yet. Brad’s 14 year old twin boys thought it was the “awe­somest thing ever,” and my aunt Claire got all both­ered and went out for a night on the town for the first time in 15 years. In fact, I think I may have a new uncle soon! Is there any­way I could get a record­ing? I’d love to put this in my family’s video scrap­book — I just had a son a week ago and this was his first Super­bowl. Thanks again and keep up the good work!

Yeah, this is my sense of humour at work. I mean that lit­er­ally, I’m actu­ally at work right now.
