Privately run
Touba TV generally broadcasts religious programs, including
prayer sessions, sermons from prominent imams and in-depth
theological discussions.
But viewers were horrified on Monday afternoon when its regular
transmissions were interrupted with a hard porn movie.
The West African country's media watchdog, CNRA, has demanded an
explanation. "We have asked Touba TV how this unacceptable
mistake could happen for almost 30 minutes," an official told
Reuters.
In a statement, Touba TV denounced what it called "a criminal
act by people with a hidden agenda." It gave no further details
on the criminals or how they got access to its broadcasting
unit.
