no idea, it was coming through both the analogue and digital channels,
cannot see how someone can hack into the sound channel, if everyone was
getting this rubbish then it is happening at a low level in the station,
maybe someone "added" this to the sound track on the video.

** I heard it as:

First white, male US voice:

" Jesus Christ, help us all...... "


Second (softer spoken ) white, male US voice

" Fuck ... "

The audio loop instantly repeated 50 to 100 times.

This happened again about 7.55pm - also the program "Mayday" had a segment
run out of sequence. They reran rge incorrect sequence later in the show
when it should have been.

Did anyone call them to find out what happened, and whether they plan to
re-screen the Jesus-Nutter-Corrupted program?

Typical of a religious nutter, whoever was responsible for that. They can't
just keep their fairytale to themselves, but instead insist on forcing it
on others.

It's time for Atheists' Revenge. Anyone at Seven care to step up to the
plate with a "Fuck Christ" loop?

Technical woes hit Channel 7

January 03, 2007 12:00

THE Seven Network has apologised to viewers after receiving complaints about
a major technical glitch which interrupted a prime-time transmission
tonight.

The program, Mayday Head on Collision, which began airing at 7.30pm, was
interrupted for several minutes by an audio track.

"It was an unfortunate technical error which was rectified as quickly as
possible," a Seven Network spokeswoman said.

"It only went to air in NSW and Victoria and the program resumed as soon as
the error was corrected."

The spokeswoman said the program's vision went to air with different audio,
which included the words "Jesus Christ".

"It's up to interpretation of exactly what was said, but we are working on
ensuring it doesn't happen again," the spokeswoman said.

"We apologise to any viewers that were watching at the time."

Just a bit after, and then several times later. That could have been

Jesus line derails train of thought

FOR more than six divine minutes, a mysterious ghostly voice repeatedly told
Seven Network viewers: "Jesus Christ one of the Navarines" during a
documentary on a train disaster screened last night.

Shortly after Mayday started at 7.30pm on the network, the unknown voice was
heard while the documentary's images continued.

Seven was flooded with 300 calls from viewers regarding what will
undoubtedly become one of TV's memorable moments.

A Seven spokesman said a technical glitch was responsible for the religious
message being broadcast in Victoria and NSW.

The spokesman said the network was always "spreading the good word", but not
in a biblical sense.

"It was a technical glitch due to an audio problem with the tape," he said.

"The line actually is 'Jesus Christ one of the Navarines' and this is from
the documentary.

"It was not a prank, but one of those things that happen from time to time.
The tape was stuck or something glitched between 7.35pm and 7.41pm, and we
did everything we could to fix the problem as quickly as possible. Once
everything was sorted, the program continued."

Marc Scardilli, who was watching at his Port Macquarie holiday home, said:
"I was channel-surfing and heard this weird sound being repeated. It caught
my attention as it was very odd, a bit creepy. There was a visual montage,
but when the soundtrack began and I listened more closely, it was a loop
repeating, 'Jesus Christ'.

"At first I thought it was part of the show, but in 10 to 15 seconds I heard
it say 'Jesus Christ' more than 20 times. I thought it was some subliminal
message, or that someone must have hacked in or something was going wrong at
the station. I've never seen anything like this before."

Another viewer, Richard Martin from Kensington in Sydney's eastern suburbs,
said: "I was actually interested in the documentary as I have an interest in
trains. But it went on for six minutes, I tried to ring Channel Seven but
couldn't get through. I've never seen anything like this before, and doubt I
will ever again."

well that's bullshit as it was definitely "Jesus Christ, help us oh

times..and then when they thought they had cleared it, it came back 15mins
later again for a few minutes and was definitely from the voice of the
high-jacked trucker clip on Youtube in previous post...
7 just wont admit their sound signal was high-jacked

See that seven's spin man in todays telegraph likened the 'glitch' to an
audio CD getting stuck and repeating the same passage over and over again.
However the passage had nothing to do with the correct audio of the Mayday
program. Actually it sounds like an excerpt thay was on youtube regarding a
US convoy in Iraq. There is a reference to this segement further back in
this thread.

Funny all round I think.

Yep, just watched the Utube clip, that is what was on repeat last night.

I think the funniest bit was it stopped then came back.

ha, that was a glitch? at first before I got sick of it and turned it
off, I thought they were being innovative/guerrilla doco style. Like
they were the last words of the train driver before he died.
The gf thought I was on the computer generating that audio.

There must be something wrong with my Television, because I never heard
'Jesus Christ one of the Navarines'. I heard 'Phurk', I doubt the
producers would have left that word in doco anywhere.
And My TV also had it going a lot longer than 6 miniutes, and it was
fixed once and restarted again later at a totally different part of the
tape.

Someone suggested it's just a looping artifact, but it could also
be a recording of some watching the convoy clip.

One can believe a glitch that causes a segment of sound that's just been
broadcast then to be broadcast repeatedly.

For this to happen twice at different places in the program, but with
the glitch producing exactly the same sound segment is beyond belief.

In the Herald Sun today it was reported as being the 'help us all

glitch.

That would be my guess. Someone watching the video with their mike open.
The mike records the video and their comment. Except that it sounds like
the same voice saying 'f_ck', which doesn't happen on the Youtube video.

No one forces those civvies to go there. They do it for the money, and
they know the risks. But the sooner we can extract ourselves from the
debacle that is the Iraq conflict, the better for all.

Yes it does, around the 2:22 mark. Just before he says "I got it on

That's priceless. The Seven spokesmoron who came up with that must be the
most clueless man in television. And "Navarines"? Where was Jesus supposed
to be from again? Navarith? :-D

Everyone who heard it knows that it clearly says something *completely*
different. There is no "open to interpretation" (as another Seven
spokesdroid claimed) about it.

Sorry, spokesmoron, but it was NOT from the documentary - it had nothing at
all to do with the actual program, and was never uttered during it.

> The tape was stuck

Best excuse since "I bent my wookie". The tape was "stuck"? Funny, the
vision seemed to play just fine.

Herald Sun news 5/1/2007

A CHILLING homemade video showing a US truck driver being ambushed in
Iraq has been confirmed as the source of a myster虹ous audio loop that
un虹ntentionally aired during a Channel 7 documentary on train
disasters. The video, believed to be from an unrelated Channel 7 news
program from last year, shows civ虹lian contractor Preston Wheeler
pleading for his life as insurgents fire on his disabled Halliburton
supply truck. The unnerving phrase "Jesus Christ, help us all Lord," can
be heard as bullets rain down on Mr Wheeler's truck. An obscenity
followed those words on the Chan要el 7 audio loop which was not part of
the original video footage. Mr Wheeler survived the 2005 ambush but
suf苯ered bullet wounds to his right arm. His chilling plea for help
aired repeatedly for more than five minutes in place of the intended
audio for the Channel 7 program 'Mayday: Head on Collision'.
A spokesman for Channel 7 said it was not known how the section of audio
came to be aired during the documentary.
