Police investigating after TV news station accidentally airs 13 seconds of porn during a weather report

Viewers tuning in to hear a weather report got a bit of a shock after a news channel accidentally aired porn for 13 seconds. KREM, a local CBS-affiliated news outlet based in Spokane, Washington aired the explicit footage on Sunday during their 6pm broadcast. A weather update was being given by meteorologist Michelle Boss when the pornographic footage suddenly appeared on the screen behind her right shoulder. For 13 seconds, the video of what appeared to be a woman’s backside was on screen. It’s not clear whether Boss or her co-anchor Cody Proctor were aware of the clip - but if they were, they certainly handled it like pros and didn’t even react to the unplanned video. Daniel Walters, a local reporter for Inlander, shared a blurred clip and described the incident as “very strange” and added that he “thought it might have been a hoax when I first saw it.” As a result of the incident, KREM later apologised during their 11pm broadcast, Adweek reported. “Those of us here at KREM 2 want to apologize for something that happened in our 6 p.m. newscast tonight,” the station said. “An inappropriate video aired in the first part of the show. We are diligently working to make sure something like this doesn’t happen again.”

From the article: In July 2012, *WDBJ* was fined $325,000 by the Federal Communications Agency for “sexually explicit clip of an adult film website” during an evening news report.

Ooops! So sorry. I honest-to-God didn’t know what “hammering” meant.
Won’t happen again now that I know. Thank you.

They finally aired something that wasn’t Fake News and now they’re being investigated.

There’s good reason we used to call the city Spokaine (rhymes with cocaine).

That said, this isn't the first time a news station has unwittingly broadcast x-rated content. CNN stunned its viewership on Thanksgiving night 2016 as they prepared to air Anthony Bourdain's 'Parts Unknown' but broadcast a half-hour of porn instead. A viewer shared explicit images of adult film star Riley Quinn on Twitter as they appeared on her screen instead of the Bourdain travelogue she was anticipating. She also asked her cable provider, RCN, for an explanation. The Twitter user said the clip went on for at least 30 minutes until the channel blacked out completely at 11 pm local time.

As mentioned upthread, another station was fined $325,000 back in 2012.

No fine for CNN announced and probably not this time either.

I’ve heard some refer to it as SpoCompton. And not without cause.

Boss, the ratings sky rocketed for that segment.

Hmmmm, may have to recalibrate...

Here in North Idaho we call it Spokompton.

Okay, ya got me. What's "hammering" in this context?

I mean, I know about using a hammer, so clearly this is something else.

A news channel in Columbus Ohio had Jack Nicklaus on about 35 yeTs ago. The news station have him a set of monogramed golf towels. Jack asked what are these for?. The news girl said to wash your balls with.
The whole set busted out laughing. They went to a break and came back and they were still laughing so they went to another break
You had to see it too realize how funny it was.

NVM, *smacking head*. It’s not the porn, it’s that they failed to pay for ad time.

It is TV news and what’s mostly on TV now.
Addictive mind control. Bondage-slavery idolatry.

We rarely watch any longer.

This is another CBS station affiliated with Sinclair Broadcasting that has been hacked. In South Bend, WSBT has been affected, the programming changed, porn was put on their FB page, and station programming has been changed, as well as their phones are still out.

I think it’s happened in some other states as well.
