A television station in Tucson, AZ got a little something to take their minds off their Cardinals losing the big game yesterday when about ten seconds of a porn movie interrupted the broadcast of the game.

In a statement released by KVOA TV, the station said that the only viewers who were able to see the XXX footage were those who receive the channel through Comcast cable.

“When the NBC feed of the Super Bowl was transmitted from KVOA to local cable providers and through over-the-air antennas, there was no pornographic material,” KVOA president and general manager Gary Nielsen said in a statement.

The statement went on to say that the station was dismayed and disappointed that some Comcast customers and their families were subjected to the material, and that the incident was under investigation.

“KVOA will continue to investigate what happened to our clean signal and make sure our viewers get answers,” Nielsen said in the statement.

Tracy Baumgartner, a Comcast spokeswoman, confirmed that the company’s standard feed was interrupted during the Super Bowl, although she said its high definition feed was not.

Tucson media outlets reported that they received calls from irate viewers about the pornographic material.

Joel Hilander, a Tucson resident, told The Associated Press that he and his young children saw the clip. “I couldn’t believe it,” said Hilander. “And I couldn’t believe that my children were watching it either.”

It is being reported that the porn footage reached the air just after
Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald scored his second touchdown of the fourth quarter.
