AT&T Vows No Censorship During Webcasts of Austin City Limits; Plus Full ACL Broadcast Schedule

9/14/07, 1:21 pm EST


After enduring serious flak for cutting out pieces of Pearl Jam’s Lollapalooza performance — the pieces during which the band criticized President Bush — on AT&T’s Blue Room Webcast, the company has decided to loosen up, the Chicago Sun-Times reports. “AT&T’s Blue Room has adopted a new policy with respect to live Webcasted performances, and that is that we’re not going to do any audio editing for any reason,” said AT&T spokeswoman Tiffany O’Brien Nels. “We’re letting it rip, as the saying goes. We do reserve the right to edit the video feed, but we will only do that either through camera angles or video blackouts for excessive sexual content — nudity or simulated sex acts. Because the site is not eighteen and over and we do believe we still have some obligation to the younger audience, you will now see strong viewer discretion messaging before and during the Webcast.”

Yesterday the company issued a press release announcing they’ll be Webcasting from the Austin City Limits festival today through Sunday. We got our hands on their full Blue Room schedule, which includes MIA, Arctic Monkeys, Paolo Nutini, Joss Stone, Spoon, Regina Spektor and Bloc Party. Check out the full Webcast lineup after the jump. And stay tuned to Rock Daily for full ACL fest coverage, including video, photos and a wrap-up report.

Limited broadcasting has unfortunately denied a lot of Americans from hearing some great music from other countries. Seriously, they’ve missed out on a lot over the years.

It wouldn’t be a problem for a corporation to decide what it wants and doesnt want to air, if only our government hadnt given them free handouts helping them to the monopolistic position they are today. Free market to choose the company the consumers like best doesn’t work when politicians and businessmen are in bed together. If things went how they should, AT&T would find itself crushed by a company that doesn’t censor content.
