03.16.10: Early Childhood "Education"

From the Triangle Business Journal, "A technical glitch at Time Warner Cable caused promotional video for The Playboy Channel to air on two channels devoted to children on Tuesday morning, the company’s local spokeswoman confirmed.

Melissa Buscher said that equipment failure led to ads for The Playboy Channel to appear in the promo box for Channel 552 Kids on Demand and Channel 555 Kids Preschool on Demand. The Playboy promos ran from 6:15 a.m. until 8:14 a.m. in parts of Cary, Morrisville, Garner and Goldsboro.

“We apologize to our customers that this happened,” Buscher said. A service call from a concerned parent alerted the company to the problem. “We took the initial call seriously and began to fix it immediately,” she says. “It was a technical failure that caused the programming to be rerouted.”

Ooops. That's growing up fast.
