FCC Proposes Fine for Stern Broadcasts
April 8, 2004
WASHINGTON – Federal regulators Thursday proposed $495,000 in indecency fines against Clear Channel Communications for broadcasts by shock jock Howard Stern.
The FCC cited the nation’s largest radio chain for 18 alleged violations on April 9, 2003.
Clear Channel suspended Stern last month from its six stations that carry his program, which regularly features graphic sexual discussion and humor.
