Comcast Screws Up the Super Bowl Broadcast in Tucson, Arizona

[Hostile]

I am getting all kinds of phone calls and one PM already asking me if I saw this. No, I don't have Comcast. That is outside of the Tucson City Limits. Inside the Tucson City Limits people who have cable have Cox.

So here's what happened. Apparently right after Fitzgerald's touchdown the feed broke away from the game and showed about 30 seconds of very graphic pornography from a show called Club Jenna.

This is from an article about this slip up.

Super Bowl watchers in Tucson, Ariz., "got more action than they bargained for" when cable provider Comcast showed a short and extremely graphic porn clip during the final moments of the game.


According to the Arizona Daily Star (registration required):

Officials at Comcast said about 30 seconds from Club Jenna, an adult cable television channel, were shown on the local Super Bowl telecast. The company was still working Sunday night to figure out how it happened.

​

Predictably, the companies involved are pointing their, um, fingers at each other. KVOA, the local TV station where the Super Bowl aired, says it had "nothing to do with it," and that the error is a "Comcast issue." Comcast says it gets its KVOA signal from Cox Communications. And Cox points the blame back to Comcast.

The article I take that from even has a clip to exactly what some Tucson viewers got to see. I will not post the link. Nor should anyone else.

Oh, and regarding the thread title and the story...it was intentional.

Thank god i dont live in arizona.

It was hard enough explaining to my 6 year old what 3rd and 10 means.

I cant imagine having to explain what Jenna was doing to that man during the superbowl.

Holy Moly. And you thought seeing Janet Jackson in all her glory was bad?


Edit.........I can't get the link to work hos.

Porn would have been the only excuse for interupting a football game IMO!!!

Everybody makes mistakes in their jobs.

Because of the nature of the job, most times, nobody notices.

But the stakes are a little higher when you are at the controls of a media giant on the biggest TV day of the year. :laugh2:

If you mean the link above, that is to the AZ Daily Star website and it requires registration. It says exactly what that paragraph cited.

I did not link the clip to the porn. I have not seen it, nor will I. Not my thing. If you Google it, you will find the article with the clip.

Also form the azstarnet article...

Callers said that the clip showed a woman unzipping a man's pants, followed by a graphic act between the two.

"I just figured it was another commercial until I looked up," said Cora King of Marana. "Then he did his little dance with everything hanging out."

pretty hillarious.

There is no way that is an accident. Sounds like someone was daring someone to do this behind the scenes or something....

I would have died laughing had I saw that.

No way was this accidental, my money is on a prank or the system got hacked.

Another Article about it

Sounds like a George Costanza-type employee who wanted to go out in a blaze of glory.

Yea, those type of things have happened before. Doubt it was a mistake. There is a clip somewhere on the internet of that happening before. Goes into interviews of elderly people who witnessed it and the horror they saw, lol. Freakin funny.

Funny that Comcast blames Cox.

 

[Hostile]

My question is, if they know how to shut it off, how come they can't figure out who did it?

 

[CF74]

Club Jenna must have paid somebody off

 

[Venger]

Someone needs to check the Comcast office camera and see who was wearing all the Steelers gear - that's your perp.

 

[AMERICAS_FAN]

It was T.O.'s fault!

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Gives new meaning to the name Cox Communications...

Almost sounds like they were sabotaging a rival.

 

[dadymat]

Funny that Comcast blames Cox.

I think the cable company was just showing the Card fans what was going to happen to the Cards the rest of the game.....
