The FCC hits Howard Stern where it hurts: his boss's wallet
His daily litany of lowbrow sexual innuendo, anatomical
comparisons and coarse ethnic stereotyping may endear him to a
surging army of sophomoric radio listeners, but not to the
Federal Communications Commission. For the second time in two
months, broadcasts by schlock jock Howard Stern have drawn FCC
fines. This time, however, the commission upped the stakes by
fining Stern's bosses at Infinity Broadcasting a record $600,000
for the "indecent" material, though it stopped short of barring
Infinity's planned purchase of three new stations. The FCC also
warned that any such future violations could lead to a loss of
Infinity's broadcast license. In a welcome change, Stern made
no comment.
