TV Hearings on TV Family Hour Draw Hollywood Names
Los Angeles AP The House communications subcommittee will hold hearings next Tuesday and Wednesday on the TV family hour issue. Witnesses include Norman Lear Gene Roddenberry Bill Cosby and the National Gay Task Force alongside a PTA group. A spokesman noted an Adult Film Association rep will also speak though his group’s work is not likely to be aired during family hour. The hearings are framed as an FCC oversight, not a move to new laws, in a case already pending in federal court over the NAB’s family viewing standard. Lear and others filed suit against networks NAB and FCC, challenging the standard as unlawful. Pearce said LA network officials were invited but declined amid the lawsuit.
