"The watchdog Parents Television Council-the group getting primary credit for spurring the Federal Communications Commission to fine Fox Broadcasting Co. and its affiliates a record $1.183 million in indecency fines last week-has emerged as the nation's undisputed champion of indecency enforcement, generating more than 100,000 FCC complaints this year alone." -- Television Week

Take Action

Television is the most influential mode of communication in America. In the past, it was just a simple, and wonderful, source of family entertainment and news. But today, good, clean, entertaining television hardly exists - programs are graphic and very little is left to the imagination.

The television network executives and the advertising community need to hear from YOU! They will continue airing and sponsoring offensive shows during prime time unless Americans like you talk back and take a stand on what is being beamed into your home every night.

Remember, it is also a good idea to contact the networks to applaud them for airing family-friendly shows. Show SUPPORT for those shows and urge the networks to air more of that type of program.
