Viewers tuning in to a March 26 live broadcast of the “Food City 500″ NASCAR race on Fox Television were subjected to an offensive barrage of language when the network included in the telecast an audio transmission of an angry pit crew chief using profanity. FCC guidelines forbid networks from airing such language during times when families may be watching.
Joe Glover is president of the Family Policy Network, which filed an official complaint with the FCC about the incident. He points out that federal rules barring networks from airing profanity during family hours apply even when the infractions occur during live broadcasts.
