Playboy Accidentally Plays On Childrens TV

Time Warner Cable has apologized to the people of North Carolina after previews from the Playboy Channel were accidentally shown on a children channel.

Children and parents who are usually tuning in to get some cartoons in the morning got a surprise when a bunch of Playboy women popped up on screen for about two hours on the Kids on Demand and Kids Pre-School on Demand channels on Tuesday morning.

Time Warner issued an apology saying that this happened after an equipment glitch took place between 6:14 a.m. and 8:15 a.m., most towns just got a black screen but a few of them got the Playboy images showing up on screen.

They said “we’re very, very sorry it happened – we know parents are concerned, It took about an hour or so once we were notified of the problem to actually get it fixed. It was a technical glitch and unfortunately it hit at the worst possible time on the worst possible channels.”

Apparently TWC usually have procedures that would pick up any errors like this but because it only affected a few towns they were only made aware about this error because parents called in to complain.

I wish that when my TV company had glitches they were involved showing some free Playboy previews, usually I just end up losing all service and have to wait for about an hour on hold before I get told that they are “working on it”.
