In February 2011, NHMC and the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation filed a complaint with the FCC against KRCA-Los Angeles and Liberman Broadcasting for the repeated broadcast of indecent, profance, and obscene material over the public airwaves. The complaint documented over twenty episodes of the program that aired between June 18 and December 7, 2010. The program contained images and language including the words "pinche" ("f*cking" in English) and "culero" ("assf*cker"), anti-gay language, including epithets such as ""maricón," "joto" and "puñal" (or "f*ggot"), and anti-Latino slurs, such as "mojado" ("wetback"). The program frequently featured blatant nudity and female guests have been shown in violent fights. Hypersexualized images of women's breasts and genitals while stripping for male guests and audience members also make up routine offerings. Guests and audience members were often incited to engage in verbal and even physical attacks, especially against people perceived to be LGBT. Many episodes showed the audience standing and shouting anti-gay epithets and profanity at guests.
