Watch the original uncensored report (with profanity) on WOWT's First Alert 6's YouTube channel uploaded and public on Jan 31, 2026 "BREAKING UPDATE: 2nd video shows Fremont protester hit by SUV" https://youtu.be/HdnN3CWHc9M?si=d8euBG1EcMQx-TqK

Specific timestamps in the online version of the report show the profanity airing at approximately 2:10 to 2:30 and again at 4:22 to 4:35.

Official Rule from the FCC: "Indecent and profane content are prohibited on broadcast TV and radio between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m., when there is a reasonable risk that children may be in the audience.” fcc.gov

Regulatory Codification (47 CFR § 73.3999(b)):“No licensee of a radio or television broadcast station shall broadcast on any day between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. any material which is indecent.” law.cornell.edu

Statutory Basis (18 U.S.C. § 1464): “Whoever utters any obscene, indecent, or profane language by means of radio communication shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.” uscode.house.gov. The FCC and courts interpret 18 U.S.C. § 1464 ("Whoever utters any obscene, indecent, or profane language by means of radio communication...") as holding the broadcast licensee (the TV station) responsible for the content it transmits over the public airwaves — including pre-recorded videos, third-party bystander audio, or clips it chooses to air and replay. fcc.gov

Complaints can be filed with the FCC, even if they did not see the original live broadcast, and can be submitted at consumercomplaints.fcc.gov (select “TV”, “Indecency/Profanity”). The online versions of the report (available on WOWT’s website and alternate sites) preserve the evidence. Complaints should include the station call letters (WOWT), exact date and time (January 29, 2026), segment title (“BREAKING UPDATE: 2nd video shows Fremont protester hit by SUV”), description of the profanity and replays, and links to the footage. Specific timestamps in the online versions show the profanity starting at approximately 2:10 and 4:22. Multiple complaints strengthen the case for FCC review.
