Obscene or Indecent Material

Broadcast of indecent material, which KPSU management interprets as obscene/indecent material is strictly forbidden. As well as the use of extremely sexually explicit content, extremely violent content, and drug/alcohol content. Indecent or obscene language or material spoken over the at any time will subject the on-air person to disciplinary measures which means the announcer will get a strike and/or suspension or termination from KPSU.

The broadcast of obscene material will, in practically every case, fall under the same regulation as indecent material. However, KPSU management reserves the right to completely ban any song which, by complaint of a listener, is deemed “obscene”. Any such ban may be appealed to the KPSU Staff.

Please remember that we are a PSU student organization, and any problems that the university might have with offended and disgruntled listeners will result in big problems for KPSU. Furthermore, KPSU shares airtime with (and is owned by) KBPS and the Portland Public School System. The Portland Public School System can be quite conservative in regards to obscene and/or indecent material. If KBPS and/or the Portland Public School system become unhappy with KSPU, we may not be allowed to broadcast citywide, which could impact our local connections within the business community. Please be considerate and thoughtful of the overall situation of the station.
