[cma-l] Offensive language on radio - how to avoid the pitfalls

[Julian Mellor]

er, can we just take a reality check?  Many community stations are volunteer run.  There is no one to "allow" or not, let alone audition.   

It's the point I was trying to make; the rules are written on an assumption of resources and capacity to implement.  But that is not the reality of a small community station with no paid staff.  

One station's self harming tendency will be another's survival strategy!
