PTC Pushes Stations To Preempt 'Gossip Girl'

The Parents Television Council has sent letters to CW affiliates -- about 120 in all -- asking them to preempt the infamous November 9 episode of Gossip Girl which reportedly includes a sexual tryst among three main characters. "Our members will not hesitate to contact local and national advertisers; and if this program violates broadcast decency law, rest assured that our members will contact the Federal Communications Commission," writes PTC President Tim Winter.
