That’s one way to get up in the morning. Canadian viewers got a little more than just the weather forecast while nibbling their bagels and cream cheese Friday morning.

The cable news station CHCH accidentally aired some hardcore pornography during the 9:30 a.m. broadcast, The Vancouver Sun reports.

CHCH news director Mike Katrycz said that the local Ontario cable companies, Shaw and Cogeco, crossed the adult entertainment feed with the news channel, and some viewers got an eyeful.

Katrycz said that he was watching from a television in his office when he saw the explicit entertainment and immediately called the master control room, but the damage was already done.

“It was beyond the control of our station,” Katrycz told the Sun. “As soon as I saw it I got on the phone. I knew something was desperately wrong.”

He continued: “In all my years of television, I’ve never seen something like this. We promise we’ll get to the bottom of it.”
