Broadcasters tend to have strong voices, stronger than reporters. You should try talking on the phone with Jeff Gianola sometime.
The KPSU studio in which I was interviewed had a big sign saying that the first swear would get any program cancelled. It is not as if staff was unaware of such issues.
With any standard a line must be drawn somewhere. I think that Cooper and KBPS drew one at exactly the right spot for their audience.
Potty talk may raise circulation for the Portland Mercury, but God forbid that your standards should become those of Portland Public Schools.
Pardon me, but wasn't the line drawn at the word "sodomy" being used in a positive sense? Again, if the FCC doesn't have a problem with it, I fail to see why anyone else does.
If I had that guy's job, it would take exactly one early morning phone call from an indignant PTA Mom screaming about cocks and sodomy for me to kick them off the air.
It's about time that KPSU got a new... uh, frequency - one that'll broadcast beyond downtown. Maybe this will be a good opportunity to spend dough on that stuff.
ROM -- since AM travels further than FM, I'd actually been able to enjoy KPSU for quite a long range. Though the sound quality is less, it's more accessible to more people on AM.
