[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
According to the FCC's official accounting for the fourth quarter (ended Dec, 31), indecency and obscenity complaints against radio and TV totaled 44,109. That is up from the third quarter and up dramatically from the quarter before. Almost all of the fourth-quarter indecency/obscenity complaints were lodged in December with 42,190, compared to only 1,375 in November and 544 in October. That December figure includes at least 5,643 complaints from the Parents Television Council over a November Vibe Awards broadcast on UPN.
