We all mess up every now and then — and that’s totally okay. But someone is probably getting fired for this one.
Yesterday night at 11PM EST, some viewers getting ready for a brand new episode of Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown on CNN were surprised to see that scheduled programming had been replaced by 30 minutes of adult entertainment.
The mess-up only affected people in Boston, as CNN’s broadcasting there is provided by RCN, a local television provider. Even though the news channel was sending through the right video signal, RCN managed to press the wrong buttons and provide viewers with something quite different.
Twitter user @solikearose couldn’t wait for the newest episode of the popular travel show, but was shocked to find explicit material on her screen when she tuned in.
