Censored Music

[fire_of_avalon]

That's not what this thread is about.

Ubel, if you're buying your own music for the radio station, then you can probably get cheap singles from different record companies that produce the artists you want to play. They'll be pre-censored.

And it's radio, it has to be censored.

Radio doesn't have to be censored.


Itunes also has censored music readily available, but I still don't think you should use it.

Record stuff from the Radio if you want........

There are loads of songs without swearing that are good. Even though the bands use profanity in some songs shouldn't eliminate that band in total. Greenday, Offspring, Nine Inch Nails, Weezer, Red Hot Chilie Peppers, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Flogging Molly...

The list just goes on.

Obscene Broadcasts Are Prohibited at All Times

* Obscene speech is not protected by the First Amendment and cannot be broadcast at any time. To be obscene, material must meet a three-prong test:
* An average person, applying contemporary community standards, must find that the material, as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest;
* The material must depict or describe, in a patently offensive way, sexual conduct specifically defined by applicable law; and
* The material, taken as a whole, must lack serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.

Indecent Broadcast Restrictions

The FCC has defined broadcast indecency as "language or material that, in context, depicts or describes, in terms patently offensive as measured by contemporary community broadcast standards for the broadcast medium, sexual or excretory organs or activities." Indecent programming contains patently offensive sexual or excretory references that do not rise to the level of obscenity. As such, the courts have held that indecent material is protected by the First Amendment and cannot be banned entirely. It may, however, be restricted in order to avoid its broadcast during times of the day when there is a reasonable risk that children may be in the audience.

Consistent with a federal statute and federal court decisions interpreting the indecency statute, the Commission adopted a rule pursuant to which broadcasts -- both on television and radio -- that fit within the indecency definition and that are aired between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. are subject to indecency enforcement action.

Radio does have to be censored. All media outlets have to censor themselves in some way.

Also that is why there are Satelite radio

[Spammerman]

There are tons. You pretty much just have to stay away from rap, and staying away from rap is a good thing.

Country seems to be getting really popular nowadays, and that genre has very little swearing. A good majority of pop music has no swearing, and alot of popular rock is the same way.

Youre right, but in country songs theres sometimes stuff about Blwing the outof other countries and suicide.

[Shadow The Red XIII Thing]

Here is the real advice dont listen to rock or classical music. Country is a bout things I thought it was about a bunch of red-necks gettin drunk in a recording both(all country music) xd

[Jimmch939]

Play music with:

A.) no vocals.

B.) vocals in different languages

c.) where the vocals are indecipherable
