LAS VEGAS (AP) - Wardrobe malfunctions, radio shock jocks and "Saving Private Ryan" will be hot topics among TV and radio executives at the annual National Association of Broadcasters convention in Las Vegas.
Earlier this month, Rep. James Sensenbrenner Jr., who heads the powerful House Judiciary Committee, told cable executives that criminal prosecutions would be an efficient way to enforce indecency regulations.
That kind of tough talk didn't sit well with cable programmers and won't go over with commercial broadcasters either at the convention that begins Monday. Station owners believe they should regulate themselves rather than be subjected to rulings by federal authorities that can carry hefty fines.
