First off, I am unaware of any porn stations on commercial, network TV, and I doubt very seriously there are any. If some of the premium or pay-per-view channels have porn, then the kids' parents should not have purchased that package in the first place. In your scenario the fault lies with the parents, for being irresponsible, and not with a producer or network that offers a product that many folks (perhaps not you) may enjoy.You didn't answer the question. Would you leave a TV set on in a childs room with porn broadcasting ? If you say yes then you are advocating censorship.

You confuse censorship by the government (which I oppose) with parental control (which I support). A parent turning off a porn station that his or her child is watching is responsible parental behavior, not censorship. Censorship means that the program can't be broadcast at all; parental control merely means that that parent responsibly forbids his or her child from viewing porn, but the program is still available for adults to view, if so inclined.
