WASHINGTON, D.C. The Federal Communications Commission on Thursday proposed fines totalling $495,000 against Clear Channel Communications for a radio broadcast by Howard Stern. The penalty amounted to the fourth-largest ever proposed by the regulatory agency.
The FCC said it would seek the maximum $27,500 fine for each of three decency violations uttered during Stern’s show on April 9, 2003, on six stations, for a total of 18 penalized violations. The action represents the first time the agency has determined there are separate violations for individual utterances during a program, rather than issuing one for an entire program.
