NOTICE: The song cannot have any indecency, profanity or any suggestive references to lewd
acts or behavior and must match the guidelines expressed by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) at https://www.fcc.gov/media/radio/public-and-broadcasting#OBSCENE
The FCC states obscene material is not protected by the First Amendment and
cannot be broadcast at any time. To be obscene, the material must have all of
the following three characteristics:
● 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 material: The courts have upheld Congress' prohibition of the broadcast
of indecent material during times of the day in which there is a reasonable risk
that children may be in the audience, which the FCC has determined to be
between the hours of 6 a.m. ET and 10 p.m. ET. Indecent programming is
defined as “language or material that, in context, depicts or describes, in terms
patently offensive as measured by contemporary community standards for the
broadcast medium, sexual or excretory organs or activities.” Broadcasts that fall
within this definition and are aired between 6 a.m. ET and 10 p.m. ET may be
subject to enforcement action by the FCC.
Profane material: The FCC has defined such program matter to include language
that is both “so grossly offensive to members of the public who actually hear it as
to amount to a nuisance” and is sexual or excretory in nature or derived from
such terms. Such material may be the subject of possible FCC enforcement
action if it is broadcast within the same time period applicable to indecent
programming: between 6 a.m. ET and 10 p.m. ET.
