There's a scandal a-brewin'! Swedish TV station TV 4 +, the channel that shows all episodes of the Conan O'Brien in Sweden, has cancelled the airing of the episode where Dungen performed citing a technical problem with the digital transfer of the master tapes. Instead of attempting to retransfer the program, they've decided to show a rerun instead. Instead of the first time a Swedish band sings in Swedish on US TV. Upset? Email maria.ridbrink.raud@tv4.se your thoughts.
