Oops: Cable Co. Airs Hardcore Porn During ABC‘s ’Good Morning America’

Just in case their coffee hadn’t kicked in yet, some “Good Morning America” viewers in Colorado got an eye-opening jolt early Thursday when hardcore pornography briefly appeared on their television screens.
According to the Colorado Springs Gazette, Comcast cable subscribers tuned into local ABC affiliate KRDO-TV saw the explicit material due to an error made while trying to fix a technical glitch that caused a series of channels to appear on the station.
The porn — shown only for a few seconds — was followed by two hours of religious programming and a cross-feed of the ION Television network, the newspaper reported.
Clay Clarkson told the Gazette he first saw static while trying to watch the show.
“I usually watch ‘Good Morning America,’ and the channel was flickering, so I flipped to another channel,” Clarkson said. “When I flipped back, hardcore pornography was showing on the channel.”
He said he called the cable company and was told they were aware of the situation.
“The issue was a result of human error which has been resolved,” a Comcast spokeswoman told the Gazette.
In a statement, KRDO apologized for the programming interruption but said it did not come from their end.
“Of course, we are extremely upset that Comcast would air this material instead of our KRDO material,” KRDO general manager Tim Larson told the Gazette. “We are sure the offending material didn’t come from us.”
A statement on KRDO‘s Facebook page said simply that they were aware Comcast wasn’t airing their correct programming, though that did little to stop viewers from going online to vent their outrage, according to the Daily Mail.
“I’ve been on the phone already this morning after the porn that was broadcast while my daughter was eating breakfast! I’m outraged! Sick!” one parent wrote.

this can happen very easily if you dont pay attention to what you are doing while messing around in the head end or hub site. not specifically with the porn but with crossing any channel. you have to watch witch QAM generator you are putting every channel on and where they belong in that particular QAM. by the way QAM is quadrature amplitude modulation, it is how you get your digital, hi-def, and internet from your cable company.
@NOTALOTTAYITTAYADDA
you have no idea what you are talking about. that is one of the stupidest thing i have ever heard. i hope you are joking around. as bad as people thinking there are cameras in their cable boxes.

We don’t always understand at the moment, but it’s really not all that mysterious when you look at it. That being said….please stop trolling just to get a rise out of people. It’s rude and very telling of your liberal mindset.

if by that, you mean that God made us fallible, and prone to mistakes, and prone to the kind of perverse spirit that would make or distribute porn, I‘ll agree But I’m pretty sure God didn’t ’cause’ porn to be shown for some hidden reason.
But God can work to maybe get someone’s attention by that being shown.
