Re: Adult Content on East Side Program (Steve Zehentner)

Hi Frank & Linda,

Yes we have the same issue with adult content that for Manhattan has to be played after 11pm. I wonder what Manhattan Neighborhood Network will say if anything about our Frank Moore intro - I guess some of the images are borderline!

Yesterday I turned the Frank Moore episodes in and they are scheduled to cablecast in Manhattan the next four Wednesday's at 10:30pm on Manhattan Neighborhood Network on Channel 34

August 5, 12, 19, 26

The great thing is that the shows also stream live

http://www.mnn.org/

On left column, find Watch MNN live and click link for Channel 34.

You need Windows Media Player installed.

All for now.
Steve

well legally, according to the FCC rules, "adult content" can be played after ten pm. and legally local public access channels can not modify that. I had a year fight with first the Berkeley community Media and then the city council over that a few years back. First the board of directors tried to slip a rule that "adult content" [my show and Suzy Block's show which I sponsor] must air after two a.m . but they reversed themselves when I showed up at the board meeting with a network television news crew! But then the city council got into the act and wanted to pushed us to after midnight [really most of them wanted to pushed us off the air but could not legally do that]. See http://www.eroplay.com/fmup2005/archive/censorship.html for a history of the fight. It was up hill all the way! They wanted a Frank Moore law! But they finally caved in!

what is ok in the day on the channel is very subjective, Depending on who is in charge. Like there was a punk /heavy metal cooking show in the middle of the day. Basically the guy had a bunch of his buddies over to his apartment for a back yard bar-b-q. They would get drunk as he cooked... Getting really baked! You can imagine the language! And the babes kept flashing their tits. All in the afternoon. A fun show! But if I did that in the middle of the afternoon...
