Flash a Tit, Lose the News
CBS affiliates have warned the FCC that the new crackdown on perceived indecency may cause them to cease broadcasting live news outside of the "safe harbor" of 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.
In its petition, the CBS affiliates warn that the indecency crackdown will "fundamentally alter the manner in which local broadcasters engage in newsgathering." (Already some stations, though not necessarily CBS stations–are buying equipment to delay newscasts. And on Monday, some Phoenix stations reported pulled the plug on news coverage of football player Pat Tillman's memorial service when friends let forth with some locker-room language.)
