On Thursday morning, viewers tuning into Yle TV2 were taken aback when a repeat episode of the show 'Mitä mietit, Ronja Salmi?' aired with a segment titled 'Penispaineet' that involved explicit adult content. The episode featured a scene filmed on the set of a pornographic film, where an adult film star dressed as Santa Claus engaged in sexual acts, albeit with censoring applied to some parts of the content.

The airing time raised concerns among some viewers, particularly parents, regarding the appropriateness of such content during family viewing hours. One viewer named Mika expressed his shock, indicating that the explicit scene was not suitable for children who might be watching. This reaction sparked discussions about the programming guidelines and the responsibilities of television networks in broadcasting content that could be inadvertently viewed by younger audiences.

In response to the controversy, Johan Aaltonen, Yle's head of television, reassured that the network adheres to age ratings while scheduling its programs. Aaltonen emphasized the importance of rating recommendations and stated that the organization takes feedback seriously, acknowledging the sensitivity surrounding content broadcasted during the day, especially in connection with family-oriented programming.
