Emmis goes clean
Emmis Communications, which owns top L.A. radio station Power 106 (as well as Los Angeles magazine), has joined Clear Channel in banning on-air indecency. Says an exec in the Indianapolis Star: "We've told all of our people, 'Look, just don't be 'blue' anymore. You can still be controversial, you can still be edgy.' " (via I Want Media)

Somewhat related is the allegation on today's Kobylt and Chiampou show that KNX and KFWB have been directed by CBS to not give live interviews any more, supposedly because they never built in a seven second delay. I haven't heard enough of KFWB or KNX to comment, but if true, that is awfully stupid. Sure, you might tape Joe Average, but I find it hard to believe that a government agency spokesman or corporate analyst is all of a sudden going to start spewing profanity on the air.
