Satellite Radio and the FCC

I assume my

R-rated show on and the kid next door hears it, how's this different
than regular FM that the FCC can enforce? Will the Christian right use
this angle to try to shut satellite radio down?

Guess again, if anyone is to held liable, it's likely to be you and the
manufacturers and distributors of the FM rebroadcaster. the satellite
provider isn't violating the law, but theoretically you could be if you
know that your unit is operating with too much power.
