Jazz FM are sorry for the 'balls up'

(BlogMensGo 22 February 2012) UK based digital station Jazz FM has apologised after broadcasting what appeared to be a pornographic film soundtrack of two men having sex during its Funky Sensation show.

Listeners to Mike Vitti’s show on Saturday heard about five minutes of groaning in the background as music and adverts played with many listeners clearly noticing the mistake, a number of tweets were sent in response with some listeners reporting to have been enjoying a family meal when the clip was being broadcast.

“Please accept our profound and sincere apologies for any offence we may have caused,” it read.

“Unfortunately we had an unauthorised access to the live feed on Jazz FM on Saturday 18 February at 7:15pm which resulted in a highly regrettable incident.

“Rest assured we have taken steps to ensure that there will be no repeat.”

There is still no real explanation as to what exactly happened, but it would seem someone has either hacked into the station or actually physically gone into the studio to put the feed on air.  There is also no explanation as to who has done this and why.

Vitti (also the station’s head of broadcasting) tweeted  that he ”was going to London after last week’s fiasco. Not been in a good mood these last few days. Can’t understand why someone would do that.”

The station has an average weekly audience of about 500,000 and covers many jazz genres, including funky, Latin and big band.

Vitti’s Funky Sensations show features such artists as Rick James, Teddy Pendergrass, George Duke, Booker T and Roy Ayers.

As well as this apology, an investigation has been launched into how the incident occurred and whether disciplinary action is required.

The station is also expected to issue a further apology prior to next Saturday’s instalment of Funky Sensation.
