The Family Action Council of Tennessee (FACT) is arguing that Chattanooga's Electric Power Board (EPB) should pull the plug on the Playboy channel. The EPB is selling cable TV and Internet access and included the sexually themed channel in the lineup.
David Fowler, president of FACT, said the government entity should not be providing access to "indecent, obscene material."
"It's just very problematic in our minds when the government puts its imprimatur on pornography," he said. "The government doesn't have to offer that material, and yet they've chosen to do so."
Fowler said the public needs to understand the toll pornography takes.
"People can vote for what they want in their community," he said, "by their dollars and what they subscribe to."
