Hefty rise in US TV indecency fines

US broadcasters transmitting indecent material face a tenfold increase in maximum fines, to $325,000 (£175,000) per violation, under new legislation.

President George Bush, signing the law, said the previous amount of $32,500 (£17,500) had been "meaningless".

"This law will ensure that broadcasters take seriously their duty to keep the public airwaves free of obscene, profane and indecent material."

I got satellite radio about a year and a half ago and I havent listened to regular radio since.

It's only gonna get worse with the increase in fines....I heard they wanted to fine the individual (DJ) as well as the radio station.

Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
