Public-access porn show deemed obscene

SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER REPORTER

By a 2-1 vote, the content review board for Seattle's public-access TV channel has ruled that the controversial late-night cable television program "Mike Hunt TV" is obscene and not permissible for viewing on a community channel.

After considering whether a program that airs pornographic material can be shown on the network, the board made its finding Tuesday, a news release from Seattle Community Access Network Community Media said yesterday.

The show's creator, Mike Aivaz, argued that the show was not obscene and that removing it violated his free-speech rights. SCAN had notified Aivaz that his program would be pulled if he did not stop showing "the presentation of actual sex acts."
