"Signal intrusion & accidental transmission of pornography On March 16, 2010, Time Warner Cable's transmission of their Kids on Demand and Kids Pre-School on Demand channels on systems in eastern North Carolina was interrupted by programming from the adult pay television channel Playboy TV for approximately two hours between 6:15 a.m. and 8:15 a.m./EDT, in which a group of nude women talked and posed in a sexually suggestive manner. This accidental display affected Time Warner's digital cable subscribers in four towns in the system's eastern North Carolina cluster, while other areas displayed a black screen. A Time Warner spokesperson said in a statement to Raleigh CBS affiliate WRAL,”It was a technical malfunction that caused the wrong previews to be shown on our kids’ on-demand channels. Unfortunately it hit at the worst possible time on the worst possible channels.” A Time Warner executive said normal monitoring procedures did not take effect because the glitch affected only a few areas."

How many times can porn be "accidentally transmitted" in all kinds of extremely inconvenient places?

I looked for them. It shocked me that I hadn't already heard about this from TWW. Instead, I found it in a google search for Time Warner Cable Raleigh channel listings

I think the whole point here is that TWC should be fined pretty heavily from the FCC. That's a pretty serious screw up. If PBS transmitted raw dawg during sesame street they'd be sued out of existence.
