FCC) Regarding the Television Shows ‘Here Comes Honey Boo Boo,’ and ‘19 Kids and Counting,’ 2012-2015 Description of document: Informal complaints received by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regarding the television shows ‘Here Comes Honey Boo Boo,’ and ‘19 Kids And Counting,’ 2012-2015 Request date: 2015 Released date: 07-August-2015 Posted date: 31-August-2015 Source of document: Freedom of Information Act Request Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, S.W., Room 1-A836 Washington, D.C. 20554 Email: [email protected] Fax: 202-418-0521 FOIAonline The governmentattic.org web site (“the site”) is noncommercial and free to the public.

Federal Communications Commission Conswner & Governmental Affairs Bureau Washington, D.C. 20554 Cfttl :1 August 7, 2015 FOIA Nos. 2015-689 and 2015-690 This letter responds to your recent Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA") request received by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) and assigned to the Conswner & Governmental Affairs ("CGB") and Enforcement ("EB") Bureaus. You are requesting informal complaints regarding the television series "HERE COMES HONEY BOO BOO" and "19 KIDS AND COUNTING." Please be advised that your two FOIA requests were aggregated for calculation of the FOIA fees. According to the Commission's Records Control Schedule for Informal Complaints ("Records Control Schedule"), the Commission is not required to maintain informal complaints and related correspondence for more than three years after the case is closed. See Nl-173-07-1, FCC Disposition Authority. Therefore, all complaints records prior to January 1, 2012, have been purged pursuant to the Records Control Schedule. CGB conducted a search of the databases in which we maintain the records of informal complaints filed by, or on behalf of, consumers. Our search revealed 26 complaints that are responsive to your request, which are attached. EB informed CGB that a search of its records identified no responsive documents. Mike Hennigan of my staff redacted all personal identifying information relating to the individuals who submitted or are named in the enclosed complaints or inquiries based on Exemption 6 ofFOIA, which permits agencies not to disclose files that would clearly invade personal privacy. Please be advised that the Commission receives many complaints and comments that do not involve violations of the Communications Act or any FCC rule or order. Thus, the existence of a complaint filed against a particular carrier or business entity does not necessarily indicate any wrongdoing by any individuals or business entities named in the complaint. FOIA and FCC rules require the FCC to charge requesters for time spent searching for and reviewing responsive documents, and for copying them. Based on your classification as an "all other" requester, the FCC does not charge you for the first two hours of search time and the first 100 pages of copying. Because preparing the response to your request falls within these limits, the FCC is not charging you for processing it. If you consider this to be a denial of your FOIA request, you may seek review by filing an application for review with the Office of General Counsel. An application for review 1 must be received by the Commission within 30 calendar days of the date of this letter • You may file an application for review by mailing the application to Federal Communications Commission, Office of General Counsel, 445 12th St SW, Washington, DC 20554, or you may file your application for review electronically by e-mailing it to [email protected]. Please caption the envelope (or subject line, if via e-mail) and the application itself as "Review of Freedom of Information Action." Sincerely, Nancy tev on Deputy Chief Consumer Policy Division Consumer & Governmental Affairs Bureau Attachments 1. 47 C.F.R. §§ 0.4610), 1.11 5; 47 C.F.R. § 1.7 (documents are considered filed with the Commission upon their receipt at the location designated by the Commission). 2 Ticket: # 394218 - 19 Kids and Counting Date: 7/9/2015 9:14:49 PM Received via: TV City/State/Zip: Greenville, South Carolina 29615 Status: Solved Description Due to the recent evidence that has been made public via the FOIA, The Duggar family was proven to have committed felony crimes and consealed other felony crimes. This type of behavior has no place on television. Unfortunately, if the show 19 Kids and Counting is allowed to be broadcast, there is a strong possibility other children will be sexually abused and the abuse go unreported. The American people have clearly spoken, as have our current state and federal laws. Sexual abuse of a minor, and consealment of sexual abuse cannot be over looked or unpunished. The Duggar family was portrayed as a strong Christian family with traditional family values. Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar were considered role models and parenting experts. It is irresponsible to allow the show to continue, in light of the crimes committed and consealed. Thank you for you swift decision in this matter. We as a nation must speak out against child abuse and neglect. We cannot allow our most vulnerable citizens to be victimized and go unprotected. Follow-up message by FCC on 7/13/2015 8:17:42 AM: -Thank you for contacting the FCC to share your concerns about broadcast program material that you find offensive. It is against federal law for a television or radio station to air obscene programming at any time, or to air indecent or profane material during the hours of 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. The FCC is charged with enforcing the law that governs the broadcast of such material. For the FCC to consider whether a licensee has violated these requirements of the law, a complaint must relate to particular programming, rather than express a general opinion. To proceed on a complaint, the FCC must have information that includes the station that aired the programming material, the date and time of day of the broadcast, a recording, transcript or description of the material broadcasted. This will allow us to determine whether it is obscene, indecent or profane. Because your complaint does not provide all of this information, we cannot proceed further with regard to your allegations. Accordingly, we must close your complaint. Your views and concerns about program material are important to us. You may refile your complaint with this additional information. To expedite our consideration of your complaint, we recommend that you submit it via the FCC's online Consumer Help Center at consumercomplaints.fcc.gov. To assist you further, we are including links to information that discusses the law with respect to indecent, profane and obscene broadcasts and our enforcement procedures. We encourage you to convey your concerns, whether general or program-specific, directly to station management. This can be an effective method to influence a broadcast licensee's programming decisions. https://consumercomplaints. fcc.gov/hc/en-us/articles/203700670-Cab le-TV-and-Offensive­ Programm ing-Q u ick-F acts https://consumercomplaints. fcc.gov/hc/en-us/articles/20370061 0-Satellite-Programming-Qu ick-F acts Ticket: # 393997 - 19 kids and counting Date: 7/9/2015 7:36:47 PM Received via: TV City/State/Zip: Little Rock, Arkansas 72206 Status: Solved Company Complaining About: Infinity Description It is my understanding that there have been complaints lodged against the TLC show 19 Kids and Counting. There are very few shows with Christian values left on TV, and apparently the liberal agenda is to get all of them removed in any way possible. There are many morally corrupt shows that should be removed from TV before this show but as this country is going to hell in a handbasket I am not surprised that this show is being attacked. The "pedophile" in question was a child when he did what he is accused of doing. Doesn't make it right but doesn't warrant the witch hunt that has been waged against this family. Please do not ban this show. These people are being persecuted! Follow·up message by FCC on 7/13/2015 9:09:33 AM: -Thank you for your submission. Your complaint provides the FCC with important information we can use to develop policies to protect consumers, remedy violations of the Communications Act, and encourage future compliance with the law. We have attached a consumer guide that includes relevant information on. the issue you have raised. As such, no further action is required by the FCC. Your complaint was closed as·of today. Thank you for your submission and help in furthering the FCC's mission on behalf of consumers.

  • By Jennifer M. Fogel a Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
    A MODERN FAMILY: THE PERFORMANCE OF “FAMILY” AND FAMILIALISM IN CONTEMPORARY TELEVISION SERIES by Jennifer M. Fogel A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Communication) in The University of Michigan 2012 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Amanda D. Lotz, Chair Professor Susan J. Douglas Professor Regina Morantz-Sanchez Associate Professor Bambi L. Haggins, Arizona State University © Jennifer M. Fogel 2012 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe my deepest gratitude to the members of my dissertation committee – Dr. Susan J. Douglas, Dr. Bambi L. Haggins, and Dr. Regina Morantz-Sanchez, who each contributed their time, expertise, encouragement, and comments throughout this entire process. These women who have mentored and guided me for a number of years have my utmost respect for the work they continue to contribute to our field. I owe my deepest gratitude to my advisor Dr. Amanda D. Lotz, who patiently refused to accept anything but my best work, motivated me to be a better teacher and academic, praised my successes, and will forever remain a friend and mentor. Without her constructive criticism, brainstorming sessions, and matching appreciation for good television, I would have been lost to the wolves of academia. One does not make a journey like this alone, and it would be remiss of me not to express my humble thanks to my parents and sister, without whom seven long and lonely years would not have passed by so quickly. They were both my inspiration and staunchest supporters. Without their tireless encouragement, laughter, and nurturing this dissertation would not have been possible.

Kathy O’Kelley; Ernest Cate; Rick Hoyt, in their individual and official capacities Defendants - Appellants ____________ Appeals from United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - Fayetteville ____________ Submitted: January 14, 2020 Filed: June 15, 2020 ____________ Before SMITH, Chief Judge, LOKEN, COLLOTON, GRUENDER, BENTON, KELLY, ERICKSON, GRASZ, STRAS, and KOBES, Circuit Judges, En Banc. ____________ LOKEN, Circuit Judge, with whom COLLOTON, GRUENDER, BENTON, ERICKSON, STRAS, and KOBES, Circuit Judges, join. Jill Dillard, Jessa Seewald, Jinger Vuolo, and Joy Duggar (“Plaintiffs”) rose to prominence as members of the cast of “19 Kids and Counting,” a television show about Jim Bob Duggar, his wife Michelle, and their nineteen children in Washington County, Arkansas. In 2015, the City of Springdale Police Department (“SPD”) and the Washington County Sheriff’s Office (“WCSO”), responding to a tabloid’s request under the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”), Ark. Code § 25-19-101 et seq., released redacted copies of reports of a 2006 investigation into sexual misconduct by the Duggars’ oldest child, Josh Duggar, which included interviews of Plaintiffs, who were minors at the time. Despite redactions, social media users identified Plaintiffs as the victims of Josh’s reported sexual abuse. The resulting negative publicity brought about the show’s demise, and then, this lawsuit. Plaintiffs sued the City, the County, and several of their employees, asserting claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and the Arkansas Civil Rights Act, along with state law tort claims for the tort of outrage and invasion of privacy.

    (3) Matt Walsh - I'm not too proud to admit when I was wrong. So, yes,... 8/26/15, 12:45 PM 3 Search Facebook Ryan Home 20+ SPONSORED Create Ad Matt Walsh Like Page August 20 at 12:02pm · Edited · I'm not too proud to admit when I was wrong. So, yes, I was wrong about the Duggar situation. If you recall, several months ago it was revealed that Josh Duggar, the oldest son in the "19 Kids and Counting" clan, sexually abused his sisters when he was 13 or 14 years old. This revelation was used by many anti-Christian folks as a way to "prove" that all Christians are hypocrites and the whole "family values" thing is a shame, etc. I wrote a post in the early days of that story pointing out that the liberal Hand of God outrage over sexual abuse seems to be rather selective and insincere.

I stand by the first two parts of my argument, but on the last I was misguided. Reports surfaced yesterday alleging that Josh Duggar paid for and maintained two Ashley Madison accounts over the last two years. Ashley Madison is a dating site for married people seeking affairs. It was hacked this week and the records of 30 million adulterers were released.

    The List: All Primetime Series on Television Calendar Year 2015 Source: Nielsen, Live+7 data provided by FX Networks Research. 12/29/14-12/27/15. Original telecasts only. Excludes repeats, specials, movies, news, sports, programs with only one telecast, and Spanish language nets. Cable: Mon-Sun, 8-11P. Broadcast: Mon-Sat, 8-11P; Sun 7-11P. "<<" denotes below Nielsen minimum reporting standards based on P2+ Total U.S. Rating to the tenth (0.0). Important to Note: This list utilizes the TV Guide listing service to denote original telecasts (and exclude repeats and specials), and also line-items original series by the internal coding/titling provided to Nielsen by each network. Thus, if a network creates different "line items" to denote different seasons or different day/time periods of the same series within the calendar year, both entries are listed separately. The following provides examples of separate line items that we counted as one show: %(7 V%HLQJ0DU\-DQH%(,1*0$5<-$1(6DQG%(,1*0$5<-$1(6 1%& V7KH9RLFH92,&(DQG92,&(78( 1%& V7KH&DUPLFKDHO6KRZ&$50,&+$(/6+2:3DQG&$50,&+$(/6+2: Again, this is a function of how each network chooses to manage their schedule.
