Federal Communications Commission
The FCC was founded in 1934 to regulate what is being broadcast to ensure it is appropriate and fair to audiences. This includes radio, television, and phone. They enforce their laws on live events and acts as a supervisor. Companies can be fined for breaking the rules.

This is from their website and states the standard they hold and look for, and encourage anything to be reported if it isn't.
