I don't want my Radio to have park rangers who censor what I can hear. That's why they make tuning knobs.
Well, you are in the minority. Most people believe public place (like the AM & FM bands), should be a hospitable place. Just like you wouldn't want to turn the corner with your small child and find someone fornicating in front of you...or ride on the T with someone with a loud foul mouth.

It's also why I subscribe to satellite radio.
Well, you have just left the National Park and are now on private propert. ;-) As long as you want to pay for it, you can do and get what you want. However, while you are using the public airwaves, you ahve to abide by a few rules of civility.
Again, you are in the minority. ;-) People aren't running to Sat radio in order to get away from the overly censored bands.

I Still can't believe that the FCC fined CBS for showing Janet Jackson's nipple for a split second. God forbid people see something that they have underneath their own shirts!
It wasn't so much for fear of seeing her nipple, as much as it's the idea that performers think they can get away with anything...and broadcasters can shrug and say "Well we didn't know she was going to do that".
You have to draw the line somewhere.

The FCC appears to use very little logic when it comes to handing out fines.
No common sense at all!
I think they make a lot of sense. They rarely use this authority, and when they do so it's to draw the line.

I say they should stick to the interference issues and stop playing Park Ranger.
And I wish park ranger will let me build a house in the National Parks, dump my trash and walk around naked.
But it doesn't work that way.
