And the networks don't own the airwaves.

Interesitng..Neither do the fed's..I thought the FCC was brought about to curtail stations from stomping all over each other on frequecies..still looking into that...

Another question as well, sicne none of use techincally owns the airwaves, whoseto saywhat is right and wrong? Hell, were pumping this stuff out into space like it's nobodies bizz...

Gotta hit the rack..thanks for the good dialouge, I appreciate it.

Have a good one.

All part of the enforcement, which is what they did in this instance. They saw a clear violation of decency standards that they draw upon, and enforced them. Bubba The Love Sponge acting like a complete jackass on the radio in a single market is one thing, baring a breast on national TV in clear violation of FCC broadcast guidelines is yet another.

The envelope of what goes and what doesn't is constantly being pushed all the time on TV and radio, and I think the FCC has about had enough.

If the FCC intends on enforcing the rules with broadcasters flirting the limits of the rules, the FCC better start jacking up the fines if they mean business, rather than letting every other idiot get away with it unscathed.
