[edit] Ky. bill advances to keep 911 calls off airwaves
"A measure that would prevent 911 calls from being broadcast on TV and radio cleared its first legislative hurdle on Thursday and now heads to the Senate floor for a vote.
The Senate Judiciary Committee approved the measure that is garnering strong support among GOP lawmakers, despite the pleas of broadcasters who say the proposal smacks of censorship.
"It certainly starts us down a very slippery slope," said Nancy Cox, a news anchor with WLEX-TV in Lexington."
