Broadcasts which are considered indecent by community standards are subject to fines and penalties by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). However, Internet Broadcasting is currently exempt from FCC regulations.

Contiga Broadcasting does not have to comply with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) at this time, but has decided to self-impose some regulations.

Contiga Broadcasting has ruled that on-air talent that use excessively vulgar language is not permitted at any time.
