Hardcore Porn Interrupts News Show In Phoenix

A cable news program was temporarily replaced with hardcore pornography in Arizona, shocking viewers who had been watching a health show featuring former NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw.

ION Television, which operates the station, says the incident on KPPX-TV was "an act of human sabotage" at the Phoenix-area station.

"We have launched a rigorous investigation, and any implicated employees will face strict disciplinary action and termination", spokeswoman Leslie Monreal said.

A local resident, Brenda Schodt, says 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 didn't comment on whether the video aired beyond the Phoenix area.
