SURVEY SAYS: DON'T CRACK DOWN ON CONTENT
[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
According to a study from TV network-funded TV Watch, only 12% of respondents say that the government should decide what's appropriate TV. TV Watch points out that is less than the 20% in another poll who believe in alien abductions. When asked whether "people should be able to choose for themselves what they watch in their own homes," or whether "it's time for the FCC to penalize the networks and increase government control and enforcement" because "broadcast television and radio have gone too far," 78% said they should be the ones in control, with only the above 12% supporting a government crackdown. Even more -- 76% -- said they would be upset if government regulation "limited the programming choices available to them."
