Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: Raleigh NC station hits delay button on SNL

It warms my heart that Capital Broadcasting was bullied into selling its 
Charlotte stations by Fox a few years ago. Their stations became the first O 
stations in Charlotte when they became Fox and MyNetwork stations in 2013.

Almost as much sense as the belief that anybody who would be offended would
be watching SNL. After 40+ years, the audience is self-limiting.

It is their station and they can do what they want. If they don't want to
broadcast bad words or "edgy" material, then they should just not carry
SNL. What I strongly criticize them for is running the show, and then
censoring it. I am somewhat less critical if Lorne, or even NBC, decide to
bleep something on the show - they are the one's ultimately deciding on
what kind of show they want to send out. But I think it is very bad form
for third parties to censor the material. It is no different to me than if
Wall Mart pulled out a few objectionable pages from a Dave Chappelle book.
If selling (and making a profit) off of Chappelle is offensive to your
sensibilities, then fine - don't sell it. But don't profit off of it while
fundamentally changing it.

I can't say whether or not WRAL did the right thing. All I can say is, given 
the long and storied history of Capitol Broadcasting censoring and/or outright 
blocking programming deemed objectionable (except, of course, in the case where 
said programming turned a profit in due course), that to say that WRAL is 
stodgy is an insult to the concept of stodginess. After all, this is a 
60-year-old still locally owned-and-operated Southern television station that 
used to run editorials by Jesse Helms, now located square in the crossroads of 
urban NC and rural NC.

I've seen FOX or NBC let a few bad words through during NASCAR, but that's 
a different than SNL.
I remember when Dale Earnhardt Jr cursed during a post race interview, Bill 
Weber apologized for the cuss word, and NASCAR docked 25 points from Dale 
Jr for cursing. 
In the case of last night, do you think that WRAL did the right thing?
