Why don't we get together just for giggles and target a radio station to see if we can get them fined. The regular guys or the bert show would be fun to start with. We will record the shows and look for violations. Then complain away we go . What fun.
 
I am in the process of building a web site to get the ball rolling. I will promote it in the Atlanta area and volunteers will be found. I can't do it all alone. Let's have fun with this and get somebody fined. Think of this as a game. Come on, jump on board.
 
I'm in. I have Dekker letting a caller drop an F bomb a few weeks ago, around 830 I think. Will that help?
 
It is not a super secret plan. The FCC does not care if we monitor and record shows looking for violations. The FCC is our agency and responds to our complaints. They are our employees. They report to us. We own them. Let us use them. They respond to our complaint and hopefully fine the violator. All we have to do is fill out a form. Then wait. If a fine is issued, we win the game.
 
Our founding fathers are rolling in their graves as they watch their precious constitution being desecrated by the FCC and the people who believe the FCC should be doing it. :mad:

And then we can go turn in people for smoking pot.

You sound like that tattle-tale in class that no one wanted to be friends with.

Okay, I'm responding solely because I find your words hysterical and absurd. Anyone who says the FCC is an "employee" of US citizens doesn't have any idea of which they speak. The FCC was created by Congress to "protect" citizens, not work for us. They are an agency, which means they contain their own judicial, legislative, and executive powers. Congress and the president have a say in the goings-on of the FCC, and for that matter, any other federally mandated government agency, but citizens do not.

You obviously know nothing about broadcast media...or else I know way too much.

Or how about I call the enitre Atlanta radio community and tell them about your little plan to set up fines and use the FCC. Then we'll all jump your behind left and right with lawsuits for loss of revenue, defamation of character, and theft by deception. I've about had it with people like you thinking that this is a joke. This is their livelihood you're f@#%ing with.

Who let the Focus on the Family in here?
 
It is quite simple really. If you don't break any rules you won't receive a written complaint to the FCC. If you do break a FCC rule you get 3 or 4 complaints and hopefully a large fine. Then we hold a party for the person who recorded the violation. It is like a personal touchdown. Maybe he or she will receive a plaque. And the game continues. Join us.

Yep, that's the kid. He was also on the receiving end of many arse kickings.

I was always nice to that kid though. You never know....he could be the guy on which Steve Buscemi's character in Billy Madison was based.

"Maybe we could get some coffee some time?"

"Sure. I'd like that."
 
Not that I'm crazy about people running sting operations against hapless jocks, but...

Has anyone ever been sued for complaining to the FCC?

If you could, the fear of litigation would keep any citizen from complaining about anything.

Don't think that certain media companies wouldn't like to sue critics of consolidation into the ground.

I suppose people who report stations for running day pattern at night are "tattletales" too.

DON'T SNITCH -- the radio ethic! ::)
 
It'd be easier to inspect their Public File and make copies of the infractions. Or when someone doesn't play a proper legal ID

But I'm sure you knew that. Or do you just want to go for the big rules that everyone knows about?
