FCC Gets Fewer Indecency Complaints

The LA Times reports that the FCC received significantly fewer indeceny complaints in the first quarter of 2005 than in the last quarter of 2004. Complaints to FCC down sharply in ’05: “FCC officials attributed the marked drop — which saw complaints plummet from 317,833 to 157,650 from one quarter to the next — to the end of e-mail and write-in campaigns aimed at certain television and radio stations. The report did not identify which organizations were behind the campaigns or which broadcasters were targeted.”
