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.

Here's the video, bottom right monitor starting at 3:58 for about 30 seconds.

Is that... regular programming for Sweden, or was someone pranking the newscaster?

I've been waiting for that to happen, with all those screens in the background....

I have a disease called SVT, but I'm not really sure what that adds to this conversation.

Still, it's late, and no one's around. So I'm digging.

Zack_Replica, its showing a pay channel called "Canal+" which mainly shows movies, movies and more movies. At two in the morning the movies are blue ones. This isn't the ten o'clock news but the middle-of-the-night newscaster you see.

I see. We used to have a channel like that in Vancouver. At about 1:30 they'd start cranking out the soft porn and/or movies with 'adult' themes. I think most of them were European, so me being 15 at the time suddenly became enamoured with European women, which, ya know, is easy to do.
