radio censorship
I had often thought of volunteering to read for the Niagara Frontier Radio Reading Service for the Blind when I went to graduate school in Buffalo. Now they have come under the censor's careful watch after an incident earlier this year. Channel 7 in Buffalo carried the reading service over a secondary audio feed for its blind and visually impaired customers, but earlier this year after a listener complained about a "naughty" word being read during a reading of Tom Wolfe's I Am Charlotte Simmons, Channel 7 pulled the service during certain hours. Guess that means they aren't going to be reading Catcher in the Rye anytime soon...
