Received this morning:


From: Steve GORDON=20


Hello Everyone,

     I've just received an email from American Family Association that =
the FCC has OK'd the use of the "F"word on radio and television.  I've =
tried to find something regarding this on the FCC website but the site =
is pretty much down for this weekend for maintenance.  While I have no =
reason to doubt what AFA is saying...I wanted to find this on the FCC =
site myself for further reference.  Here is part of the message I =
received from AFA:


The Federal Communications Commission has approved the use of the "F" =
word
for use on any TV show or radio program, ANYTIME DAY OR NIGHT!=20

The FCC said the word can be used whenever desired except in sexual
situations!=20

>>That means that real soon you will be watching a sit-com on TV, or =
news,
or any drama or movie-ANY PROGRAM-and it's ok! Hollywood is rejoicing!

>>Soon, when you are driving your kids to school you will be listening
to a song which makes extensive use of the word.=20

>>Shock jocks such as Howard Stern are now free to use any language,
no matter how vile and repugnant, on their radio shows. And use it they =
will.

>>No longer will movies shown on TV have to be edited because of =
language.



If this is indeed true...I find it to be very disturbing but must admit =
not surprising with the way things are going lately.  If anyone can =
confirm this or direct me to where the information might be found within =
the FCC site...I'd be deeply appreciative.  I for one will be following =
the AFA requests to FIGHT this.  TV and Radio has really gone down and =
totally lost concept of family values.  That's one of the reasons for =
our LPFM...to maintain high values in broadcasting "family =
entertainment".   Thanks for your replies...Be Blessed
