FCC DENIES COMPLAINTS AGAINST “WILL AND GRACE” EPISODE

Washington, D.C.: The Federal Communications Commission today issued a Memorandum Opinion and Order denying a complaint by Americans for Decency and related complaints alleging that KSAZ License, Inc., the licensee of Station KSAZ(TV), Phoenix, Arizona, aired indecent material contained in an episode of the “Will and Grace” program.

The Commission concluded that the episode of the “Will and Grace” program was not sufficiently explicit or graphic to be indecent.
