Nearly four minutes of porn was broadcast during a segment of New Zealand’s Toyota Grassroots (what a title) rugby program.
The “Desperate Blackwives 2″ segment from Sky TV’s adult pay-per-view Spice channel would have screened in the Auckland region and Sky digital.
Other television channels were quick to report on the botch-up, with TV3 reporting how disgusted and shocked viewers were when the porn suddenly appeared on their screens.
Prime Television spokesman Tony O’Brien said technicians had established there was a mix-up in the distribution process and that the network apologised for any offence caused.
A ‘sheepish’ excuse if ever there was one?
