CNN has said its subsidiary in Boston aired "inappropriate content" last night, after a viewer reported seeing 30 minutes of hardcore pornography instead of scheduled programming.
Though viewers were tuning in for a new episode of Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown, the show's title took on an entirely new meaning when it was reportedly replaced with explicit material starring transsexual pornstar Riley Quinn.
CNN issued a statement to media outlets on Friday blaming the incident on local cable provider RCN. It read: "The RCN cable operator in Boston aired inappropriate content for 30 minutes on CNN last night. CNN has asked for an explanation."
