Putting the 'F' in FCC

Some Stations Won't Show 'Private Ryan'
The FCC continues to have broadcasters scared silly.

Tonight, for the third year in a row, ABC will air "Saving Private Ryan" uncut and with limited commercial interuptions in honor of Veterans Day.

However, many ABC affiliates are reportedly planning to pre-empt the movie with local programming out of fears over represussions for broadcasting the film's harsh language and graphic (although realistic) violence. They're especially worried about the movies intense first half hour that will air during the so-called family hour at 8 p.m.

Again, this is all despite the fact the movie has already aired on ABC twice before.
