If you have concerns that you would like to direct to the FCC, you could do so by mailing your correspondence to the Federal Communications Commission, General Cable Inquiries, 445 12 Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20554, or calling the Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau at 1-888-225-5322 or TTY: 1-888-835-5322.
I saw something vulgar and obscene on TV, what can I do about it?

The City has no authority to censor programs, but requires public access, local origination, and educational access cable television services contractors to abide by these FCC rules.
