Profanity TV Begins Wednesday at 10 Am EST...9 CST.

Breaking News

John Eggerton is reporting in Broadcast & Cable that C-SPAN said Monday it has decided to provide live coverage of the oral argument in broadcasters challenge to the FCC’s profanity crackdown.

The news channel asked and got permission from the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in New York to cover the arguments to be presented on December 20. These arguments are more amenable to TV coverage than some of the others.

The arguments in five cases are set to begin at 10 AM EST. In addition to the television coverage, C-SPAN Radio and cspan.org will carry live broadcasts of the trial as well. Tune in for a profound - and perhaps profane - take on television.

I did watch some of the coverage yesterday and all I can say is Holy ______. When I heard the one Judge use the "F" and "S" word, it was worth the cost of my Dish Network service right there. The look on my wife's face was also priceless. George Carlin would be proud.
