FCC "safe harbor"
ok, so on our show we are always really careful not to swear and stuff, but we were unsure what words were taboo for radio. i was trying to look up this list of words when i ran across an interesting section on the FCC faq section:
What is the “safe harbor”? The “safe harbor” refers to the time period between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., local time. During this time period, a station may air indecent and/or profane material. In contrast, there is no “safe harbor” for the broadcast of obscene material. Obscene material is entitled to no First Amendment protection, and may not be broadcast at any time.
and obscene material was basically defined as hardcore porn
so we were just wondering what WGSU feels about this. our show is at midnight, and if the rest of the station feels that we still shouldn't swear, we won't. however, if you would like us to exercise free speech while we can, it would make for a much less stressful time.

It is true that the FCC allows swearing between these hours, but many stations, including us, extend the rules to 24 hours. Let me explain why:
- As a college radio station, we are supposed to serve the community around us. We need to be on good terms with the town.
- We need to be on good terms with the communication department, which funds us and lets us do what we do, as well as with the administration of the college. If they one day decide the radio is not good for the college, they could easily take a way funding, shut down the station, or drastically change the way it is run. And if we ever need anything (e.g. a new transmitter) they are much more likely to help us if they think we are benefitting the college and community in some way. Swearing on the radio is not conducive to maintaining a good relationship with the college.
- We inevitably represent the college, regardless of whether or not we want to or the college wants us to. When people listen to our station, they associate us with the college, so what we say over the air does to a certain extent affect the image of the college.
- It makes the rules simpler and eliminates confusion. Nobody can say that they didn't know they weren't allowed to swear, or that they were confused, or that they forgot what time it was, or whatever.
- It eliminates situations in which DJs swear just because they can. That’s just not good sounding radio!
Alright, hope this helps clarify things!

I agree that DJs need to be controled with what they say!!
Penis Widening performed as an independent procedure, or combined with Penis Lengthening, Glanular Enhancement and supra-pubic lipo. Patients choose from either Allograft Dermal Matrix Grafting (donor tissue graft for widening), or Autologolous Dermal Grafting.
Here are several men who have detailed their enlargement surgery experience.
It's a medical procedure in a very controlled environment, every aspect of your health is monitored by a surgical staff.
Penis Surgery is the only scientifically accepted method of male enlargement.
Although, other natural & mechanical penis enlargement methods may also increase penis size length gradually. Methods such as stretching with weights, or extender devices. Training in the same manner is also a requirement after penis lengthening surgery.
Many men have reported benefit from natural penis enlargement techniques. Free natural penis enlargement videos and enlargement instruction are available.
Penis enlargement is at the pinnacle age for true aesthetic, permanent, thicker, longer wider producing penis enlargement methods.

Anyway, I'm not sure what you should do. Maybe stick to what you do normally in your shows? Better to be safe than sorry.
With that said I look forward to the return of Bubba The Love Sponge to the air waves again in Tampa and am waiting to see if the target him for each and everything they can.
