'Ryan' on air.(Outtakes: an inside look into Arkansas media)
Allbritton Communications Corp.'s ABC affiliate KATV did it, but Hearst-Argyle Television Inc.'s affiliate KHBS/ KHOG, Channels 40/29, did not.
We're speaking about whether the local ABC affiliates in Little Rock and Fayetteville carried the network's showing of Steven Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan." KATV aired the broadcast uncut. KHOG declined.
The film, of course, shows graphic battle scenes and contains "adult language." It uses the F-word 48 times. That's no "Pulp Fiction," but it's a lot for prime-time network television.
KHOG was one of several ABC affiliates nationwide that chose not to show the Oscar-winning movie.
"40/29 does not want to offend viewers or incur fines for airing offensive language," anchor Craig Cannon told viewers during the 5 p.m. newscast on Nov. 11. ABC had been promoting the movie on all of its stations throughout the day.
