The FCC told the network/stations that they would have to act on their own "conscience", no waiver would be given. Which is exactly what I mean when I say that there are no clear cut rules about what is allowed and what is not. The definition of actionable only comes AFTER someone else (namely a group of letter writing nanny staters) gets their panties in a twist.
That is why some stations weren't going to gamble on whether people would complain, because people had and whether the FCC would react.
A lot out there said there is no way the FCC would fine you for showing SPR, but do you as a GM want to really gamble your job and 100 others on whether or not the FCC would react......I mean this is a government agency we are talking about.
