i just read about the stern thing this morning, in the paper. i heard something along the lines that, as an April Fool's joke, he was saying he was going off the air? but maybe i have no idea what i'm talking about.
"Mr. Stern's show has created a great liability for us and other broadcasters who air it" -- well gee, why do they come to this conclusion NOW? as if he worsened over the past couple years (or has he? i doubt he has).
i think the whole thing is pretty dumb, to say the least. all of a sudden his indecency on the radio is worth fining his company and firing him, although i hear and SEE sexual references on the television like every 15 seconds. i hope they don't see this as some small step towards improving our media, or something. it's all downhill from here.
i'm not sure what will happen but this was released on april 8th about it: "The nation's largest radio chain (Clear Channel) dropped the country's best-known shock jock Thursday after federal regulators proposed fining it $495,000 for sexually explicit material on the Howard Stern show."
here's the rest of it cos lj is gay.dancing_catApril 11 2004, 15:45:34 UTC
In this case, though the complaint only involved the Fort Lauderdale station, the commission determined there were three indecency violations during the program and fined Clear Channel for all six of its stations that aired the show for a total of 18 citations.
"Today's decision is a step forward toward imposing meaningful fines," Commissioner Michael Copps said.
Though the commission received no complaints from listeners to Infinity stations, it is looking into fining that company, too.
