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.”

Was the cute weather girl named Helena?
Because people do stupid things with company computers, that is why.
I wonder if it was someones last day before they were fired for not being vaxed.
“Why was there even an inappropriate video ready to be broadcast..”
Boys will be boys!😀
People do dumb things.
In the late 1990s, a radio jock named Doug Tracht, more popularly known as The Greaseman, made a horrible on-air joke about a Black singer, and didn’t even bother using the time delay to censor his own joke. He subsequently became persona non grata in the radio world, although I did hear him on an obscure Saturday morning show in 2008.
It is well known that many federal "workers" view porn while on the job. Why would it be any different in the private sector?
Im not surprised.
I worked at an NBC affiliate and on the weekends things were so boring the guys in the control room would pull up (via satellite) foreign broadcasts and the European stuff was flat out porn. They’d push the audio through the studio when people walked through there. There were only 3 or 4 of us there on the weekends.
I don’t question the frailty of human character. It is the 13 seconds that I wonder about.
It got me as well. You learn something every day.

Here’s the definition as it pertains to me from Urban Dictionary.
hammering
The act of trying repeatedly to connect to an unavailable FTP server with little or no time between connection attempts. It can be compared to repeatedly hitting the “redial” button on a telephone when dialing a phone number that is busy until the other phone is no longer busy
Most FTP sites have policies against hammering and require FTP clients to set retry times at specific intervals, commonly at least 120 seconds between each attempt to connect. Most FTP sites can also monitor for devices that hammer, and once detected the server will ban access to the offending IP address either permanently or for a limited amount of time.
What I did wrong.

I missed it before I posted… but I inadvertently put the address from my “news notification source” and the address from the source they sourced for the story. It created the potential for which I was rightfully admonished.
Now we know.
That is an interesting conjecture.
That depends on your ethnicity.
