In reply to the discussion: It Begins: FCC to investigate Colbert for homophobia, obsenity [View all]Cal Carpenter
(4,959 posts)21. Yep, straight from the FCC:
Regarding the safe harbor period, Congress and the courts have instructed the Commission only to enforce the indecency standard between the hours of 6 a.m. and 10 p.m., local time. - when children are more likely to be in the audience. As a consequence, the Commission does not take action on indecent material aired between 10 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. In this way, constitutionally-protected free speech rights of adults are balanced with the need to protect children from harmful content.
