PTC, CWA: Family Tier Is Insufficient

[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
So we have the promise of cable family tiers, we're done with this messy indecency stuff, right? Wrong. The Parent's Television Council (PTC), whose members have filed a large portion of all the indecency complaints at the FCC, will join with Concerned Women of America (CWA) Thursday in a conference call press conference declaring that the announced tiers aren't sufficient and that they will join to push for full-blown cable a la carte. Together, CWA and PTC comprise some 1.5 million members. More receptive to the tiering plan were Jerry Fallwell's Moral Majority and the Faith and Family Values Coalition, both praised the tier, but both also oppose a la carte cable, fearing it could push religious channels off the dial.
