There is no charge for filing a complaint with the FCC. You can file your
complaint using an
online complaint form. You can also file a complaint
by calling 1-888-CALL-FCC (1-888-225-5322) voice, 1-888-TELL-FCC
(1-888-835-5322) TTY; faxing 1-866-418-0232; or writing to:
Federal Communications Commission
Consumer & Governmental Affairs Bureau
Consumer Inquiries and Complaints Division
445 12th St., SW
Washington, DC 20554.
You can help us resolve your complaint more quickly by providing as much
of the following information as possible: (1) the date and time the
material was aired; (2) the call sign, channel, or frequency of the
station; (3) the city and state where the program was viewed; and (4) as
many details as possible about the content of the broadcast to help the
FCC determine whether the material was obscene, profane, or indecent. You
may support your allegations by a full or partial tape or transcript, or
by providing a significant excerpt, but these are not required. The key
is to provide enough information for staff to determine both the specific
content of the complained-of material and the context in which it was
broadcast. It is also helpful to include your address, e-mail and phone
numbers.
The best way to provide all the information the FCC needs to process your
complaint is to complete fully the online complaint form. When you open
the online complaint form, you will be asked a series of questions that
will take you to the particular section you need to complete.
If you are submitting a video tape, DVD, CD or other type of media with
your complaint, please send it to the following address to avoid mail
processing damage. Any documentation of the programming becomes part of
the Commission's records and cannot be returned.
