Porn accidently showed in place of Church TV

A family who turned on the TV Christmas morning to watch choirs sing instead was treated to some naughty programming.

"I turn it to Channel 15 and there's this naked lady on the screen — I mean full-frontal, get-the-hell-out-of-here pornography," David Umana, of Kenmore, Ohio, told The Associated Press. "When I tell about Christmas 2004, I'm betting this will be one of my best stories."

Umana's teenage sons, 15 and 17, had left the room, but he and his wife, Karen, caught the porn on the local public access station and called the cable company.

A Time Warner Cable official said that a church program was slated to go on air that morning, but that the wrong tape must have been played.

"I don't think the church group submitted that," Chris Thomas, the cable company's director of government affairs, told the AP.

Daytime programming on the station generally comes from local schools, but material for the other time slots can come from anywhere. Akron officials have been unsuccessful in their efforts to shut down skin shows at the station.
