Dammit I missed The News
Station fires worker in news porn case
Tue Mar 20, 4:52 PM ET
MESA, Ariz. - A Phoenix television station fired an employee suspected of inserting pornography into a broadcast of a news show featuring former NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw.
The unnamed worker for ION Media Networks' KPPX-TV "was immediately terminated and faces further legal action" after an investigation determined who was responsible for the March 12 incident, spokeswoman Leslie Monreal said in a statement.
Palm Beach, Fla.-based ION Media Networks, which offers family-friendly programs, called the incident "an intolerable act of human sabotage" and apologized to viewers. About 30 seconds of porn was inserted into the broadcast.
Monreal said in a statement released late last week that the images of sex acts only appeared in the Phoenix market.
The images prompted a flood of calls to local news media outlets and the cable television provider.

Almost as funny as the kid peeing in the teachers' coffee pot. Almost.

I'll bet the viewership of that channel's news broadcast goes up.
