WGBH Boston, one of PBS' anchor programmers, says that some 24 stations have now notified it that they will bleep a profanity from the Oct. 16 airing of its civil rights documentary, "Eyes on the
Prize." PBS is redistributing the acclaimed series, having just renewed its distribution rights--with airings planned over three Mondays in a row (the first aired Oct. 2). Station spokesman Daphne B.
Noyes said that the stations did not give reasons for bleeping, but that WGBH had anticipated the local market reactions and concern over the FCC's profanity crackdown.
