Holy cow. 6:30 PM!

Whatever happened to the so-called “family hour” on network TV?

I called one of the local channels in Albuquerque one day because for the 5:00 PM news slot, they had an entirely inappropriate add for a nightclub, complete with bumping, grinding, and skimpy outfits... My four-year-old son asked why the girl was shaking her boobs.

I called to tell them the add would be more appropriate for their 10:00 PM slot, and that we'd be seeking a different channel from which to get our news. Message must have gotten through, they stopped abruptly.

Of course, when the ABQ news alls starts with the murder/shooting/drug bust/sexual predator/drunk driver/corrupt local politician of the day (and it is daily here), maybe the news is now considered adult programming...
