Jack Bauer's Days are Numbered?: FCC May Regulate Violence on Television

[Beemnseven]

There has been talk of allowing FCC regulation of cable television too.

Bay Buchanon (sister of Pat) was on CNN debating in favor of it.

Enjoy HBO while it lasts.

I would think that HBO would be set since it's a seperate pay channel.

Unfortunately not. The FCC has been considering it for quite some time and, constitutionally, there is little preventing the FCC from regulating it.

and Im all for funny, racy commercials, but they have to be on after 'family hours'. I think thats where a bigger problem is. Some of the commercials are getting over the top on prime time. Again I dont have a problem with them, but what good does a channel or rating blocker do if the commercial is geared to adults?
