MorningNews 1291 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Streaming the WGN Morning News for a change today and surprised to hear the N-word going out over air several times during a Dean Reynolds entertainment segment. They played video of a young girl describing her frustration with Justin Bieber's marriage and repeatedly using the N-word without censorship. Complete facepalm and back to KTLA's morning offering I go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spring Rubber 609 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Regardless, that is rather shocking that they'd let the N-word slip without censorship on broadcast TV. Is that even allowed by the FCC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that even allowed by the FCC? I guess it depends on the context it’s used. NBC's The Carmichael Show and ABC's Black-ish both have used the "a" variant.

I was listening to Rover's Morning Glory on WMMS in Cleveland and a caller dropped a "R" and a certain homophobic word starting with F, it wasn't dumped but Rover did end the conversation.

24994J 5269 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 WGN has proclaimed that CBS 2 "is on a rocket ship to 3rd place." This is brilliant. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're going to see a lot more movies and syndicated reruns on the weekends soon. They'd be better off getting The CW back.

Spring Rubber 609 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Let the record show that the excessive lowercase was done for stylistic reasons... j/k. Blame the weekend crew. (Yet they capitalized "Million" but nothing else.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
