Do not forget that in addition to banning certain types of
content, the FCC also forces certain types of content such as
transmitting station ID at specified times in specific format.

It's even worse for broadcasters who also have to transmit EAS
material, renewal filing notices, and sponsorship notices in
addition to station ID.


Remember when stations had to do "public service" or
"community" programs, usually played on Sunday morning?
Stuff nobody ever listened to. There was a time when
you could not find anything at all to listen to on the
radio Sunday morning.

None of the above are the "censorship" which is envisioned in Sec.
326, though.

Be happy for what we have and don't have.
