Footballus interruptus! TV station reports hard core images disrupt gridiron championship airing.
KVOA-TV in Tucson revealed its broadcast was interrupted for more than a few seconds – 10 – of explicit pornographic material during its Super Bowl broadcast last night.
The station stated on its website that only the viewers on the Comcast cable system were affected by the switcheroo during the Steelers-Cardinals matchup.
A spokeswoman for Comcast then said the standard feed was hijacked during the standard broadcast but not the high definition stream.
The FCC and local engineers are investigating the pirate porn broadcast.
Elsewhere eyewitnesses in New York also reported a loss in satellite feed during Bruce Springsteen‘s halftime performance. The mystery blackout appeared during the chorus of "Born to Run".
It is unclear at this juncture whether the Super Bowl mili-seconds gap was an attempt by pirate broadcasters or simply equipment malfunction.
