The keyword is public [dis]service. The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) is only interested in hearing from the general public IF the station in question is not following FCC guidelines or government guidelines for community standards. To my knowledge, no US radio or television station has ever lost its license because of broadcast content. Not even Howard Stern's station had its license revoked...fined yes, revoked no. Too much money is involved now-a-days in the ownership of a frequency allocation...the FCC wouldn't dare attempt to step on a frequency holder's toes...the lawsuits would dominate the Supreme Court for years to come! The best thing listeners/ferret conscience folk can do is write the station itself...inundate them with letters..(Not email..too easily erased and forgotten...letters hang around much longer....) Bombard them with letters of indignation and demands to voice a ferret's side of the issue. Protest the labeling of a ferret as a chicken killer, etc. Do it daily, weekly and monthly. Never let the station forget they made a boo-boo! <GRIN> Remember..the squeeky wheel gets the grease! Joe [Posted in FML issue 1860]
