I’m not sure, but I suspect the FCC is also to blame for all the “public interest” advertising run by stations seeking to ensure license renewals. I wonder, too, if “diversity” requirements are not already responsible for some programming decisions.

I for one am damn sick of their stuipid PSAs that have devolved down the the point of having to say crap that is self evident like: Cook your meat all the way or you get sick, don’t do drugs, buckle your seatbelt, listen to smoky bear, be a good brainless peon and don’t hurt yourself...
Not saying we don’t need them, but it is like I hear the damn things constantly and more lately, are they increasing the amount mandated to run to try to cut down the advertising profits on stations?
