At 7.15pm on 18 February 2012 during the "Funky Sensation" programme, a gay pornographic soundtrack was played on top of the programme during both music and advertisements for about five minutes. Jazz FM management blamed the mistake on "unauthorised activity and inappropriate behaviour in the studio" by a broadcast assistant who was watching the pornographic film while the pre-recorded show was broadcast and while the microphone was active in error. Mike Vitti, programme controller for Jazz FM and presenter of "Funky Sensation" said he would apologise for the incident on the next programme as well as imminently on the website. Vitti also stated that disciplinary action would also follow.
