Should we be able to fine our radio stations?!


Question: Should we be able to fine our radio stations!?
now in my town it is now law that if you dont like the music you hear in the radio station it is your legal right to fine the station!.
Radio stations have now stopped playing music, which has come as great relief and saved the town from pain!., as all we got was a drum machine and a man talking which they call music!.
Our radio stations have now closed as they refusse to give us the news only as even that is liable to a fine, if the news is bad!.
What a shame it had to come to this but people in my town now have ipods only!. Long gone is the day of the RAPWww@Enter-QA@Com

Well, perhaps you're making some sort of oblique point - an Orwellian posit!. If so, I missed it!. The general answer is yes, within reason!.

However, I have read of some severe censorship in certain Latin American and Middle and Far Eastern countries!. These would shock most Americans and I sympathize if your post is serious and reflects reality where you live!.

You should identify your country (and your town if possible) - if you can do so without endanegering yourself!. In the US, stations are subject to fines for many reasons - most of them technical (tower lights, too much signal strength, poorly kept Public File, etc!.)

The only content-related fines are for obscenities or "language or content that would offend the community!." I think I got that pretty close for off the top of my head!. And this is pretty broadly applied!.

These fines are levied by the FCC, usually after one of their inspectors finds a problem during a routine inspection!. The FCC also will act on complaints from the general public based on content!.

I believe Howard Stern still holds the record for the amount of a fine from when he was with CBS in NY and really testing the commission!. It should be noted that Howard had what we on YA would call a troll who turned him in for literally every program he ever aired!.

This is the main reason he and other Shock Jocks have moved to satellite where content is not censored!.
