AGain, it's not a distinction in what constitutes indecency, but rather what the gov't can regulate. I think when Atticus said TV/Radio, he implicitly limited it to broadcast TV/Radio. The indecency restrictions do not apply, to my knowledge, to cable channels.
Powell's problem in all of this is that any regulatory effort will be challenged, and may well pave teh way for the complete overrule of Red Lion.
