Chandigarh, October 21

Viewers were in for a shock on Sunday evening while watching a weather forecast in Washington, US, when a local news channel accidentally played a pornographic clip.

KREM, a local CBS-affiliated news outlet based in Spokane, Washington, broadcast the 13-second porn video during their 6 pm newscast.

Meteorologist Michelle Boss was giving a weather update when the porn clip began playing over her shoulder.

Neither she, nor her co-anchor, Cody Proctor, were aware of the clip.

They both continued their report as the graphic video played out in the background before eventually cutting away to more weather footage.

KREM apologised for the "inappropriate" video during their 11 pm broadcast, reports Adweek. "Those of us here at KREM 2 want to apologise for something that happened in our 6 pm newscast tonight," said the station. "An inappropriate video aired in the first part of the show. We are diligently working to make sure something like this doesn't happen again."
