CNN broadcasts 30 minutes of hardcore porn, cable provider at fault

Cable provider accidentally broadcasts 30 minutes of pornography on a live CNN TV channel in Boston. In a very bemusing mistake, CNN broadcasts 30 minutes of hardcore pornography to viewers in Boston after a mistake made by US digital cable TV provider RCN, reported International Business Times, UK.

Viewers in Boston who tuned into CNN at 10PM EST (4AM GMT) were treated to half hour of hardcore pornography when all they wanted to watch was an episode of the popular travel and food show Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown.

However, CNN was not responsible for the glitch — for the channel was being maintained and provided in the region by RCN, a major cable TV provider based in New Jersey that offers TV channels which are related to movies, sports, children’s programming, as well as premium on-demand channels and streaming TV on TiVo.
