Accidental porn broadcast 'broke the rules'

OfCom has found that the UK's Jazz FM breached broadcast rules when it accidentally played five minutes of hardcore pornography - or "clearly audible sounds of sexual activity" over the air. As the show it featured in "Funky Sensation with Mike Vitti" was pre-recorded, no apology could be played out live (just porn!). Jazz FM explained that a former member of studio staff had opened a personal email during the broadcast which contained a link to pornographic content. When they clicked on the link they had accidentally left the fader on the sound desk up, which was how the audio from the video they were watching came to be made available for all listeners to hear. Ding Dong!
