In article , "Kim W5TIT"
writes: A neighbor tells me that the FCC has recently ruled that broadcast radio stations are now "legally" able to "say the F word" on the air, as long as it isn't sexual. Yeah, I know, go figure. But, when I did a quick search on the FCC website, I found nothing of it. Anyone know of this...my thoughts are on what will happen in amateur radio now. The broadcast arena has always been the barometer of what people are allowed to say on the air, hasn't it? Kim W5TIT Kim: You apparently couldn't care less about whether or not sexually-suggestive, objectionable language used in the context of poor individual judgment is used on-the-air. If you did, you would have taken Mr. Hollingsworth's admonishment to heart, and changed your call sign. However, if it makes you feel better, in recent weeks I've heard the words "****" and "****" used on prime-time TV programs. The effect that had on me was to make me pick up my infrared transmitting device and QSY to The History Channel. 73 de Larry, K3LT |
