PRIME: Xcess - free-to-air channel screens hardcore porn
Well for about 5 minutes anyway...Skys free-to-air channel PRIME accidentally broadcast content from hardcore pornography channel SPICE: Xcess at 3.00pm this afternoon during Toyota Grassroots Rugby. Blogger Lucas73 from Throng says that the channel played hardcore porn scenes for a few minutes until the XXX movie Desperate Blackwives 2 began playing. This continued for approximately 5 minutes, until being replaced by a static Sky logo.
This can only be described as a disastrous mistake for Sky and PRIME, and considering the recent feuds between Sky and other networks such as TVNZ, it will be interesting to see the media responses.
UPDATE:
On tonights PRIME NEWS, Eric Young apologised on behalf of Sky.
TV3 reports their newsroom was flooded with calls regarding the issue.
Broadcasting Standards Authority say that in the most severe case PRIME could be taken off air for a period of time, as was the case for Alt TV earlier this year.
