Internet radio stations face the question of becoming FCC-compliant, even though they are not beholden to its rule by law. This is because Internet radio still has to think about its listeners: who it wants to reach and who it doesn't want to alienate. The debate is also rooted in questions of freedom, because FCC-compliance is subtractive in nature: it limits the scope of content that the station can present. It can be a difficult question for Internet radio stations to resolve.
What are your thoughts on the debate? I'm not sure where I lie at the moment.

As an internet station owner, I run my station about 90% FCC compliant, more for the reason is I don't wish to alienate parents with kids from listening.
Now I don't really call myself FCC compliant more Family friendly, FCC has loopholes that allow things that ought not be aired, they also have quiet hours, with us net stations we have to consider global timing.
Anyhow I don't know if what I'm saying helps this is just the way I run mine.

A recent poll about the Fairness Doctrine indicated that nearly 47 percent Americans supported it, but what is scarier is that some thirty-odd percent more also felt it should include internet radio and even internet blogs. Not correct me if I am wrong, but tampering with the internet is just really out to lunch! The 'net is really about one of the last places that you can still find a HUGE diversity of opinions all over the entire spectrum.
