There's a group of school children visiting our newspaper, I had to close the @TWCNewsAustin tab extremely quickly.
— Ned Donovan (@Ned_Donovan) October 8, 2014OMG do not look at @TWCNewsAustin right now unless you want to see a veeeery NSFW tweet-hack.
— Brian Rie$ (@moneyries) October 8, 2014TWC Austin has since apologized to its Twitter followers for the inappropriate photographs.
We sincerely apologize for an earlier tweet which contained offensive content. We are investigating what happened.
— TWC News Austin (@TWCNewsAustin) October 8, 2014The news outlet declined to give further comment Thursday.
This is the second time this week that a local TV station has accidentally tweeted out porn instead of news. On Tuesday, WREG News Channel 3, a Memphis CBS affiliate, apologized to its Twitter followers after tweeting out a link to a PornHub account instead of its weather tracker.
