This is a statement by NFL executive vice president Joe Browne regarding
the Super Bowl halftime show, which featured partial nudity of singer
Janet Jackson in a duet with Justin Timberlake.
"We were extremely disappointed by elements of the MTV-produced halftime
show. They were totally inconsistent with assurances our office was
given about the show. It's unlikely that MTV will produce another Super
Bowl halftime."
CBS released this statement:
"CBS deeply regrets the incident that occurred during the Super Bowl
halftime show. We attended all rehearsals throughout the week, and there
was no indication that any such thing would happen. The moment did not
conform to CBS broadcast standards, and we would like to apologize to
anyone who was offended."
