In a major broadcasting error, Polish
cable TV network Vectra accidentally switched softcore porn channel
HustlerBlue with the music channel MTV for an entire 24-hour period.
Though Vectra issued an official apology to its viewers, the vast
majority of them hadn’t even noticed there had been a mistake.
In
the official apology, the company said that they took full
responsibility for the “technical error” that had caused the two
channels to switch places for an entire day. “We regret our unfortunate
mistake that resulted in our viewers having to watch naked men and women
grinding to instrumental background music on HustlerBlue instead of
naked men and women grinding to instrumental background music on MTV.
We are aware that our viewers are the ones that suffered the most from this incident, and hope that none of them will sue us because it really wasn’t our fault, especially not Billy from night shift,” Vectra said in its statement.
A telephone poll established that the cable company did not have much cause for concern, as the majority of Vectra viewers said they hadn’t even noticed that the soft sounds of MTV had been replaced with the somewhat harder core sounds of HustlerBlue.
Warsaw Physics professor Andrey Laka said that he was busy grading papers when the programing error was in effect, and though he only took the occasional glimpse at his TV screen, did not notice anything out of the ordinary.
“Just by glancing at the TV every now and then I can tell you that the amount of nudity was about the same as always, so I can’t say that I really noticed anything strange. I didn’t hear the music because my TV was on mute, but visually speaking, everything appeared to be completely normal,“ Dr. Laka told the Global Edition.
Another participant in our poll, music critic Bronislaw Czartoryski, spent most of the day cleaning his apartment. He also claims to have been under the impression that he’d been listening to MTV the entire time.
“I wasn’t watching the TV that much because I was busy cleaning, but it was on pretty much all day. I do remember thinking to myself that they were playing much better music than they usually do, I think it was mostly some instrumental stuff.
Anyways, there were also way fewer ads. There were some moans and sighs every now and then, but I just remember thinking that it was Rihanna or something,” Mr. Czartoryski said.
The music critic added that he had been “pretty disappointed” when he heard the cable company’s official statement, as he’d “hoped for a minute there that MTV might have finally improved its music policy.”
