BBC endured an audio mix-up in its pre-match FA Cup coverage on Tuesday, with pornagraphic content blaring on the broadcast.
WHAT HAPPENED? BBC’s coverage before Liverpool’s third-round FA Cup replay against Wolves was marred by explicit audio on live TV (NSFW clip here).
Well, we found this taped to the back of the set. As sabotage goes it was quite amusing. 😂😂😂 pic.twitter.com/ikUhBJ38Je

WHAT THEY SAID: “We apologise to any viewers offended during the live coverage of the football this evening,” wrote BBC in a statement about 40 minutes after the incident. “We are investigating how this happened.”
THE REACTION:
It’s the magic of the Cup…
WHAT’S NEXT FOR BBC? An investigation is underway, though there’s no guarantee that the results will be made public.
