A number of readers have asked where they can write with complaints about Rush Limbaugh’s repeated use of the word “retard” on his national radio broadcast last week. (The full transcript is here.)

Here are some possibilities: You may contact the company that syndicates the program; the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which grants permission for the show to be heard on the nation’s airwaves; or the show itself.

The company that syndicates the program is Premiere Radio Networks, Inc., which is a subsidiary of Clear Channel Communications. Clear Channel’s corporate headquarters is listed as:

Clear Channel
200 East Basse Road
San Antonio, TX 78209
Phone: 1-210-822-2828
Contact info for president and CEO Mark P. Mays:

The Federal Communications Commission’s chairman is Julius Genachowski. You can email him by clicking here, and file a complaint here.
