Obscene Broadcasts 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: (1) an average person, applying contemporary community standards, must find that the material, as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest; (2) the material must depict or describe, in a patently offensive way, sexual conduct specifically defined by applicable law; and (3) the material, taken as a whole, must lack serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value. See Miller v. California, 413 U.S. 15 (1973). |

I'm not looking for a 'freedom of speech'/'censorship' argument, just a line drawn in the sand so I know what's acceptable to the F.C.C. and what's not. |
