PTC ASKS FCC TO RESCIND PROFANITY REVERSAL
[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
The Parents Television Counsel has asked the FCC to rescind its decision to overturn two profanity rulings. PTC says that the FCC created an arbitrary news exemption "where none existed before," in its decision that profanity on CBS' The Early Show was not indecent, and that it "ignored" 96 indecency complaints against swearing on NYPD Blue. The FCC rescinded its profanity finding against that show citing procedural problems, specifically that the complaint against the station was not from a market where it would have aired before the 10 p.m. safe harbor for indecency.
