Pay TV targeted by pols

By Brooks Boliek
WASHINGTON -- A pair of powerful lawmakers want to put pay TV services under the same indecency regulations as over-the-air broadcasters, contending that viewers can't tell the difference between the services.

Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, and Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, chairman of the House Commerce Committee, said Tuesday that it wasn't fair for broadcasters to come under different rules than cable and satellite TV services, especially because the raciest programs appear on cable and satellite television.

"The problem is most viewers don't differentiate between over-the-air and cable," Stevens said during the National Association of Broadcasters' annual state leadership conference. "Cable is a greater violator in the indecency arena."

Stevens brushed aside constitutional questions about whether the government has the right to regulate indecent speech on pay TV services.

What a fucking idiot.... I pay for cable, I pay to get mature television..

I think that everyone should call this idiot and tell him that you know the difference between cable and normal TV. (202) 224-3004
