- <p>The FCC hits Howard Stern where it hurts: his boss's wallet
- </p>
- <p> 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.
