WASHINGTON -- The Federal Communications Commission has started a Web site, www.fcc.gov/eb/oip, to make it easier for people to file complaints about indecent programming on television and radio.
Penny Nance, a special adviser in the agency's office of strategic planning, said FCC Chairman Kevin Martin wanted to clear up confusion for consumers about how to file a complaint. With the new site, Nance said, "the American public can let their voices be heard with the click of a mouse."
The site explains that a recording or word-for-word transcript of the program is not necessary to file a complaint -- something Nance says too many consumers were confused about.
Under FCC rules and federal law, radio stations and over-the-air television channels cannot air obscene material at any time, and they cannot air indecent material between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. The rules do not apply to cable or satellite programs.
