CBC Arts: US group protests inaction on TV decency violations

CBC Arts: US group protests inaction on TV decency violations: "

A major parents group in the U.S. says it is disappointed regulators did not issue any fines for on-air indecency in 2005 after a record number of penalties the previous year.

'Here 2005 is going to end … and nothing has been done all year,' says Melissa Caldwell, director of research at the Parents Television Council. The council has spearheaded a crusade against coarse language and sexual content on television and files many complaints with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

The FCC can levy fines, often after an investigation and a vote by its five-member commission. It has not proposed a single fine for 2005."

CBC.ca - Arts - TV - The Final Rerun: "What a shock to discover those Wire tapes would be needed in 2005, a TV season with more than a few arid patches and disappointments. For during the last 12 months, Alias and Arrested Development were cancelled. Dave Chappelle strolled away from his show. Desperate Housewives and Lost became… well, desperately lost. And Curb Your Enthusiasm stopped being funny"
