    What is FCC v. Pacifica Foundation and what incident brought it about?

    Question #74753. Asked by skysmom65. (Jan 19 07 11:03 PM)


    What-A-Mess

    		"A radio station of respondent Pacifica Foundation (hereinafter respondent) made an afternoon broadcast of a satiric monologue, entitled "Filthy Words," which listed and repeated a variety of colloquial uses of "words you couldn't say on the public airwaves." A father who heard the broadcast while driving with his young son complained to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which, after forwarding the complaint for comment to and receiving a response from respondent, issued a declaratory order granting the complaint."

    The same old gentleman mentioned in my previous question has some fascinating stories.
