PORN INTERRUPTS BROKAW SHOW

Officials at KPPX-TV in Arizona say pornography shown during a Tom Brokaw health-care special was "human sabotage." According to the East Valley Tribune:

Chandler parent Brenda Schodt said she was shocked when a series of graphic sex acts suddenly appeared on her television screen.

"Maybe five or 10 minutes into the show there was no volume," Schodt said. "I thought it was the TV, but when I looked up, there were these images."

Cox spokeswoman Andrea Katsenes said Tuesday that the unexpected clips were not caused by Cox, and that the problem was a "source issue" with the broadcaster.

ION Television, which operates KPPX, called the problem "an act of human sabotage" at its station. ...

KPPX’s chief engineer, Ken Sell, said he raced to the studio Sunday night to figure out what went wrong.

He told the Tribune he was going over the “air check tape” that records what KPPX has aired, but said he found no evidence that pornography was shown.

When contacted Tuesday, Sell declined to comment further.
