Decent Language
Posted on February 16, 2011
After many months on this forum I detect that part 15 members share the conventional broadcast practice of keeping the language decent, and I share this preference after many years in radio following the standard practice of wholesome speech.
But the programs that come in the form of podcasts sometimes include grungy words, as the internet seems to have opened the door on “anything goes.”
When such language slips through and gets sent on AM I cringe because what if that was the exact moment someone nearby chanced upon the station.
Tonight I tried a roundabout band-aid solution during a show that is otherwise very good except for blunt words once in awhile. I turned off my main frequency and switched to a second frequency, knowing no one would be monitoring an inactive channel.
Have you had experiences with this problem?
