MESA, Ariz. - A cable news program was temporarily replaced with hard-core pornography, shocking viewers who had been watching a health show featuring former NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw.

The incident Monday night on KPPX-TV was “an act of human sabotage” at the Phoenix-area station, said ION Television, which operates the station.

“We have launched a rigorous investigation, and any implicated employees will face strict disciplinary action and termination,” ION Media Networks spokeswoman Leslie Monreal said in a statement.

‘There were these images’
Brenda Schodt, of Chandler, said she was shocked to look up and see graphic sex acts on her television screen.

“Maybe five or 10 minutes into the show there was no volume,” Schodt said. “I thought it was the TV, but when I looked up, there were these images.”

ION Television, based in West Palm Beach, Fla., declined to say whether the pornography aired beyond the Phoenix market.

'In a related story, ratings of the fledgling ION network spiked upward, particularly in the much-desired Males 18-44 demographic.' :D

*checks rolls of Litsters for those mischeivous ones living around Phoenix and speculating which ones...?*
 
HA!

I live right up the hill from there, in Flagstaff. I missed it though. I rarely watch TV.
 
Interesting.

I'm sure the images were vivid and/or wicked. :)
Curiously enough Brokaw has had some classic Freudian slips in the past. He once mispronounced a Russian town calling it Bukkake. There was also a broadcast in which he said "tax cunts" instead of tax cuts.
