Saving Private Ryan preemption
WKEF and other Sinclair-owned ABC affiliates declined to air an unedited network presentation of Saving Private Ryan. The decision was tied to concerns about possible FCC scrutiny over graphic violence and coarse language. It generated a broader debate about broadcast indecency and whether a program's context should affect regulatory evaluation.
