Rugby fans in New Zealand who tuned into a mid-afternoon highlights show got more than they bargained for Sunday when they were treated to four minutes of hardcore pornography.
A spokesman for Prime Television blamed a mixup in "distribution processes" for the error which inserted the hardcore segment in the regular program "Grassroots Rugby."
The segment was intended to air on an adult pay-per-view channel.
Rival television channels reported some viewers were "shocked and disgusted" by the mixup, which occurred around mid-afternoon.
Prime has apologized for the error.
"We apologize for any offense which may have been caused," spokesman Tony O'Brien tells The New Zealand Herald.
"(I was) horrified! It is not the sort of thing I want my 12-year-old to see on TV," Lorraine Watts tells ONE News. "It was a full blown sex scene."
