C-SPAN will show FCC profanity case arguments live
Steve Safran December 19th, 2006
The Second Circuit Court of Appeals is hearing arguments in broadcasters’ challenge to the FCC’s profanity crackdown. And you’ll be able to hear them, too - live. C-SPAN, to its unending credit, has decided to carry the arguments live. (And to its credit, the court agreed to the deal.) The arguments are supposed to happen on Friday, some time around 10 a.m. C-SPAN will stream the live coverage on its site, too. I’d love to see a network carry the thing live, too. We could wind up with the marvelous possibility of the FCC lawyer having to mention one of the swears and then fining the network that carried him saying it.

To quote Ed Asner’s character in “Studio 60 on Sunset”, “this is the one I’ve been waiting for all my life”.
