Station Says Porn Clip Interrupted Super Bowl - With “Graphic Video”
PHOENIX — A Tucson television station’s broadcast of the Super Bowl on Sunday was interrupted for some viewers by about 10 seconds of pornographic material, the station said.
KVOA TV in Tucson released a statement saying that the only viewers who were able to see the material were those who receive the channel through Comcast cable.
The station said it will investigate the incident.
“When the NBC feed of the Super Bowl was transmitted from KVOA to local cable providers and through over-the-air antennas, there was no pornographic material,” KVOA president and general manager Gary Nielsen said in a statement.
The KVOA statement said the station was dismayed and disappointed that some Comcast customers and their families were subjected to the material.
“KVOA will continue to investigate what happened to our clean signal and make sure our viewers get answers,” Nielsen said in the statement.
Comcast spokeswoman Tracy Baumgartner confirmed that the company’s standard feed was interrupted during the Super Bowl, although she said its high definition feed was not.
Baumgartner said engineers were investigating Sunday night.
Tucson media outlets reported that they received calls from irate viewers about the pornographic material.
A spokesman for Cox Cable said the company had not been affected.
“We have received no evidence that any inappropriate material was broadcast on any of our channels during the Super Bowl,” Mike Dunne said. “The alleged incident appears to be isolated to the Comcast territory. We will offer our support to all appropriate organizations to help them determine what happened.”
Joel Hilander of Tucson told The Associated Press that he and his young children saw the clip.
“I couldn’t believe it. And I couldn’t believe that my children were watching it either,” Hilander said.
He said the interruption came just after the Arizona Cardinals’ Larry Fitzgerald scored on a long touchdown reception during the final minutes of the game.

Drill this is your answer to all of Pats posts about the female body. You just had to put manmeat up there didn’t you!
Blah! That was just the Nair for Men commercial. Those crazy Super Bowl commercials!!!
I warned ya, baby.
As manmeat goes … dude’s eh, ok I guess … in a pinch. But at some point a paper bag for his face would be in order … looks a bit like Meatloaf the rocker. Ugh.
Anyhow, if I didn’t ‘get it up’ Pat would have, while griping at me for not.
Besides, I hear the cable company is giving $10 to everyone that happened to see the TV gaffe.
What do I get for viewing it a couple times on liveleak?
Oh, and I highly doubt this was an accident … Someone will or has prob. been fired for this. Shit, I might well be too
Hey! get that dick outta my face. before I
it off.
I worked for a TV station (NBC affiliate) as a master controller, and while you thought about doing stuff like this because you’d seen fight club one too many times, you never did it. That and it was poorly done. He had to adjust the satellite to pick up the different feed, and then readjust it to go back. I’m sure he had a beta machine and a grass valley switcher in there. He could have recorded some p0rn, punched it up for a blip and punched the superbowl back up. This just goes back to my creed, “If you’re going to bother doing something at all, do it right or just don’t do it.”
that would be bizarre. one minute your watching football, the next minute some dude is doing the helicopter with his cock. anyways, pretty good little joke there
I can’t wait for the Women’s AVP Tour to air! You know, with the Fairness Doctrine and all. Right?
maybe there was an overzealous cardinals fan “switching the signal”
Oh, one more thing… That’s Comtastic!
His side-smacker performance was quite strange. Damn, haven’t been this tongue-tied in a while.
~whew~!
