When you are expecting news, the channel shouldn’t give you porn. A Washington based news channel recently aired 13-seconds of porn video in an awkward accident. The incident took place on October 17, 2021, during a weather forecast session. The accident is being investigated by the police but no one has been held responsible so far, reported Daily Mail.

According to a statement by the Spokane City Police Department said the department’s Technical Assistance Response Unit (TARU) and Special Victims Unit (SVU) is investigating the cause of the explicit broadcast and where it came from.

The department also added that the channel is being completely cooperative in the probe. It also added that since the explicit broadcast, the channel has been receiving calls from the viewers who are complaining that they were left disturbed by the images.

According to First Post, the incident took place at 6:30 pm during a weather broadcast of the CBS affiliate channel KREM.

During the broadcast, meteorologist Michelle Boss seemed unaware of the explicit clip airing behind her as she told viewers that the state would experience hot weather, with warm temperatures expected to hit the region.

The other anchor, who was presenting the show with Boss also seemed clueless and showed no reaction to the clip as it aired in the top left corner of the screen. The clip was later stopped and the channel then zoomed in on the weather maps that were being displayed.

The channel later apologised for the goof-up and assured that they were “diligently working to make sure something like this doesn’t happen again.”

However, this is not the first time that a news show was interrupted with such explicit videos. In fact, this has happened earlier with some of the renowned channels as well.

In 2016, a porn clip was broadcast on CNN during the new episode of Anthony Bourdain’s ‘Parts Unknown. the channel continued to air explicit images of porn star Riley Quinn for half an hour, before cutting the broadcast.

While earlier reports suggested it was a mistake on part of the channel, later reviews indicated that only one user in Boston saw the images.
