Senate votes 99-1 to increase FCC’s indecency fines
This bill essentially puts the determination of what is “indecent” in the hands of the appointed bureaucrats of the FCC.
Today might have been Howard Stern’s last day on the radio, as he has said he is not willing to subject himself to the possibility of these fines, contract or not.
Update Wednesday morning: Stern says as soon as the Senate bill is reconciled with the House version and signed by Bush, he will complete the year-and-a-half left on his Infinity contract as a dj, playing music. His partner Robin Quivers says she is moving to Mars.
