Monday, cable provider Comcast issued an apology to viewers in the Tucson, Arizona area for the fact that the Super Bowl broadcast was disrupted by a 30-second pornographic clip.

Moreover, the Philadelphia-based company said that they had been mortified by the incident.

Jennifer Khoury, Comcast's vice president for corporate communications, revealed that Comcast was conducting an investigation in the matter, adding that its results pointed at the fact that the interruption had been an isolated malicious act.

Furthermore, the company said that only customers in the Tucson area getting the standard definition feed had had their game interrupted by the porn clip showing a woman unzipping a man’s pants and then engaging in a graphic act.

Kelle Maslyn, a Comcast spokesperson, refused to reveal the number of standard definition customers or how many of the latter had been watching the football game on Sunday, February 1.

Comcast has an approximate number of 80,000 customers in unincorporated portions of Pima County, Marana and Oro Valley.

President and general manager of the NBC affiliate in Tucson KVOA TV, Gary Nielsen, stated that the latter company was also trying to find the reason behind the unfortunate disruption, adding that their investigation had showed that the signal had left the station with no interruptions or inappropriate content.

The clip was aired just after the Arizona Cardinals' Larry Fitzgerald scored a touchdown during the last minutes of the game, which did not help the team much, since the Cardinals lost football game to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
