The Parents Television and Media Council has filed for bankruptcy, ending a three-decade run as a media watchdog that fought to rid the airwaves of sex, violence and profanity.

The organization filed for liquidation under Chapter 7 on Oct. 3, listing assets of $92,000 and liabilities of $285,000. In its heyday in the early 2000s, the group brought in as much as $6.6 million in donations a year — that figure had dwindled to $1.6 million by 2023.
