FCC Indecency Rules Don't Apply to Satellite Radio

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the making-the-right-choice dept.

SirTwitchALot writes "The FCC has announced that Satellite radio services do not have to comply with the same indecency requirements as traditional broadcasters. Apparently this decision was brought forth by the complaint of a traditional radio station owner, stating that the FCC needs to "level the playing field." Chalk up a win for continued freedom on subscription services."

    O&A, on XM premium, is (or maybe eventually will be) the greatest radio show in history.

    No, the site is not slashdotted. The story is still the first one on the front page of /. . This is the lowest form of karma-whoring I have seen.

    Most everyone making less than 20,000 per year can apply for a 'service' called lifeline that exempts them from paying the telephone taxes.

    Yeah, but Democrats used "free speech zones" too. So they're no better.
