CNN viewers were served a 30 minutes dose of hardcore porn owing to a mistake by cable provider RCN, which provides CNN’s broadcasting down the East Coast.
Viewers were expecting to watch “Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown” when the obscene visuals came up at 11pm EST.
“I can’t wait until [RCN] wakes up [tomorrow] & realizes that hardcore porn was broadcast on [CNN] instead of [Parts Unknown] tonight,” user @Solikearose tweeted.
“Did anyone else with RCN in Boston see the hardcore porn that was broadcast by CNN by mistake?” she added.
RCN did offer a response to the complainant on Twitter. “We have not had any reports of the programming issue you mentioned on CNN in Boston,” they wrote.
“If you’re still having an issue with that channel, please DM us your address so we can troubleshoot when you’re home.”
