The FCC is considering lifting its longstanding policies against nudity on broadcast TV.

The commission is accepting comments on the proposed policy changes. To ask the FCC to maintain its current policies against nudity and expletives, do the following:

  1. Go to http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/upload/begin?procName=&filedFrom=X
  2. Enter “13-86” in the “Proceeding Number” box, and fill out the required information.
  3. Submit your comment asking the FCC not to change its policies on nudity and expletives on TV.
  4. Ask your friends to do the same.

You can read the proposed policy changes here. In a nutshell, the commission is considering adopting a new standard permitting “isolated expletives” and “isolated (non-sexual) nudity” on broadcast television. Please contact the FCC, and ask them not to make these changes.

The FCC will accept public comment until May 20.
