A Tucson television station says its broadcast of the Super Bowl was interrupted for some customers by about 10 seconds of pornographic material.
KVOA-TV in Tucson posted a statement on its website late Sunday saying the only viewers who were able to see the material were those who receive the channel through Comcast cable.
KVOA says it will investigate the incident and that the game was sent out from the station without interruptions or pornographic material.
Comcast spokeswoman Tracy Baumgartner confirmed that the company's standard feed was interrupted during the Super Bowl, although she said its high definition feed was not.
Baumgartner said engineers are investigating.
Tucson media outlets reported that they received calls from irate viewers about the pornographic material.
Joel Hilander of Tucson told The Associated Press that he and his young children saw the clip.
"I couldn't believe it. And I couldn't believe that my children were watching it either," Hilander said.
He said the interruption came just after the Arizona Cardinals' Larry Fitzgerald scored on a long touchdown reception during the final minutes of the game.
