What is your opinion on radio station announcers using foul language on the air?
You are listening to a radio station on the FM mode, and you are listening to a morning show, and the announcer uses foul language and says the "A" word or p****d off etc, and at times he plays music has foul language. I find it quite annoying and unacceptable, and surprised that the FCC don’t do anything about it.
I also wonder why the FCC lets it continue It certainly is unprofessional and small children should not be subjected to vulgar language nor any of the public that finds it offensive. I would report the station, date and time in a formal complaint to the FCC with a copy to the station manager. The public has every right to expect common decency on our public airways. If some one chooses R rated or X rated in a private setting, but not in public.

I don’t really care. There just words I mean shit and poop have the same definition but nobody makes a big deal when people say poop for some reason.

I think it is very unprofessional. It also shows a lack of their vocabulary. If that is all they can think of then they need to hire a writer for them and stick them to the script. They should be held to higher standards than that.
I agree with you. They should be pulled off the air.

1. What’s your question?
2. Radios have tuning controls and off switches. Use them.
3. YOU don’t like it, fine…but what gives you the right to say what I can listen to?

You must have a hard time in life if mere words can upset you that much…

The FCC will do something…. All you have to do is complain…. There not supposed to be doing this….
Bad language is a sign or poor upbringing….. I’m not naive and realize people do swear…. But I do think the media has a responsibility to set the standards….. I don’t want to hear foul language on the radio…..
