" CARY, N.C. — Time Warner Cable officials apologized Tuesday after they mistakenly showed Playboy preview programming on two kids' channels.
Melissa Buscher, director of media relations for Time Warner in the Carolinas, said "equipment failure" caused Playboy programming to show up on Channel 552 Kids on Demand and Channel 553 Kids Preschool on Demand from about 5 to 7 a.m. Tuesday.
"It only affected digital customers in parts of Cary and Garner," Buscher said. "We deeply regret this problem, especially since these are channels devoted to children’s programming which are very popular with parents.”
It was unclear how many people saw the programming. Time Warner reported receiving "not an overwhelming amount of calls." Once they were alerted to the problem, it took workers about two hours to get it fixed.

It did happen.
Everybody and their mother didn't have a DVR and a computer to save the video.
There was no internet to spread the gossip like wildfire.
So the 150 people who saw it told a few of their friends and everybody else was in the dark.
