FCC probes Victoria's Secret TV show and advertising
Based on the number of complaints it has received, the FCC has announced that it will begin an investigation into whether or not the recent Victoria's Secret TV show, aired on Nov. 15, as well as related TV advertising, violated the nation's broadcasting indecency laws. The investigation will be spearheaded
by Michael Copps, appointed this year to the FCC by President Bush. ABC's response was, "This special was approved by our Broadcast Standards and Practices department, and aired with a 'TV-14 D,S,L' parental guidance label. Viewers had a choice to view it or not." Under federal law, the FCC can fine broadcasters airing material deemed indecent, unless it is aired late at night. Intimate Brands, parent company of Victoria's Secret, stated that the program had "received positive feedback on a worldwide basis."
