Will WHBO Get Fined?

[DToTheJ]

I'm listening to Fox Across America on WHBO and guest Jessica Tarlov just used the F-word plain as day. Since the network can't get fined, does this mean their affiliates like WHBO will get fined by the FCC?

It's possible if someone provides a tape and complains about it.

"Tape." You're showing your age.

And now current guest Caitlin Sinclair just said "no shit." Does WHBO get the raw feed from Fox?

I think I’m less shocked at the obscenity, and more shocked that anyone is actually listening to WHBO.

NBC Nightly News tonight ran the unbleeped clip of Trump calling Harris a "shit vice president."

I expect the rationale is that it's of legitimate news interest.

Not likely

When Trump was president, he once referred to "shithole nations." I don't recall whether it was bleeped on newscasts then or not.

I agree, can’t think of a reason to listen to WHBO, and would be surprised that they have more than a few hundred listeners over the Tampa Bay region.

I applied there sometime in early 1982. I just got strange weird vibes from the place, like Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger and Jason....and possibly Jamie Lee Curtis were going to pop out of the transmitter shack at any moment. Glad they didn't hire me.

I understand that Freddy was just signed to a long-term deal to do "overnights" there... starting on Halloween!
