Re: Disney Channel Horror: Customers Get Porn Instead I remember back when the Playboy Channel shared the same transponder as the Disney Channel on C-Band satellite. This was before they started scrambling channels and long before everything went digital. During the day F4 channel 2 (or 4, can't remember) was the Disney Channel. At 8pm they would shut off the Disney Channel and for about 10 minutes the Playboy bunny ears would come up. Then the same channel was playboy until about 4 am when it switched back to Disney.

| When I lived in Toronto, we had a channel devoted to the Toronto Stock Exchange. It was a more or less cable ticker, and a service called Voiceprint would be talking. At 8:00pm however The Movie Network (now Astral TV) would start brodcasting R rated and soft core porn movies. It was a shared channel and they ran a disclaimer at the bottom saying "this service is ONLY available between 6am-8pm daily. At 8pm the Movie Network 4 begins on this channel" (The movie Network was a pay-tv channel, which I had) Right up until 6am the next morning. This was in 1993 and 1994 by the way. Something like this doesn't surprise me but it's going a little overboard. Actually the FCC regulations regarding censorship is way too far. CRTC regulations state as long as you run the disclaimer you can't do much. Porn movies are available throughout the day, in Canada.
In Canada they air South Park at 4 or 6pm instead of 10pm. There is literally no broadcasting regulations up in Canada. It's even better in Quebec where they show nude almost pornographic music videos at 11am when kids are home on MusiquePlus. (another channel I got, and MusiquePlus was pay-tv as well) The only time the CRTC gets involved if it's really bad and even then they won't do a thing. They just tell you to get lost if you saw something offensive on TV.
The FCC is really a sham operation that should be overhauled for the 21st century. Right now bossy, bitchy parents, and the church run it. My wife was against my kids (13 and 15) watching South Park, but I told her all they have to do to see worse is walk out the front door. |

Houston, TX | She just wants money... Now days kids are put through a lot more from their parents than a porn will do..
Parents say: "That has traumatized my kids for life", but what about the time you yell at the kid..? What about the time you fought with your wife in front of the kids..? What about the time you snapped and your kid was there..?
Too much for nothing... Was it an unfortunate event.? Yes it was but it's not a big deal..
They are just drama queens.. |
