I thought that was funny.
During recent storms in Bulgaria lightning hit the tower in the picture above. The tower dispurses the signal for the 3 national broadcast stations – Bulgarian National TV, Newscorp owned bTV, NTV and also phone and cell phone coverage for the telecoms in the northern parts of Bulgaria and a little bit of the signal also gets in Romania.
When lightning struck the 675ft tower, it caused a power surge which in turn caused the receivers to reset and put the Spice Platinum Channel signal over BTV’s feed.
For 15 minutes on Monday aftertoon hundreds of thousands of people who tuned bTV over the air and on cable, expecting to see news and other information instead got free and unscrambled porn, something that only happens after 11pm for the ones subscribing to cable TV.
Apparently the American Family Association has no representation over there, and the national broadcast regulartor did not receive any complaints.
