A technician at TNTV has been suspended without pay for a week after a series of mistakes which led to 3 minutes of an adult movie including 52 seconds of explicit porn being broadcast on national television.

The porn was broadcast a short time after the end of a religious program and resulted in a number of phone complaints to the station. A union is pressing TNTV to take stronger action against their employee.

According to Haupert Ives, general director of TNTV, the technician attempted to watch adult content while taping another program off the satellite. He accidentally taped what he was watching and then neglected to verify the recording.
