STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) -- Sweden's state broadcaster SVT on Monday faced ridicule for mistakenly showing a porn movie in the background of a news broadcast over the weekend.

Viewers of a 5-minute news update at midnight Saturday could see explicit scenes from a Czech porn movie on a TV screen behind news anchor Peter Dahlgren.

The monitor -- one of many on the wall of a control room visible behind the studio -- normally shows other news channels during broadcasts.

But staffers who earlier in the evening had watched a sports event on cable channel Canal Plus -- which often shows X-rated films after midnight -- had forgotten to switch it back, said news director Per Yng.

It'd be hilarious if that were to happen on some religious news network.. :)

Years ago this happened with a sattelite broadcast to morocco or algeria, some muslim country. And it was direct feed, not just in the background either, they were not pleased :)

The station call letters are SVT - there used to be a band by that name - some people said that SVT stood for Sex Violence Television. :1orglaugh

I wonder what kind of fine the FCC would levy if that happened in the U.S.
