B3 B2 FEATURES Tuesday, April 20, 2004 FCC cracks do on in de
BY KIMBERLY DIXON Staff Reporter It all started with a "wardrobe malfunc tion." Ever since Janet and Justin's racy per formance at the Super Bowl on Feb. 1, the feud over what is decent is all the rage. In the past two months, the Federal Communications Commission has cracked down on broadcast stations and shock jocks alike, distributing fines amounting to more than $400,000 in some cases, according to the FCC Web site. Why the sud den concern? Janice Wise, FCC media con tact, claims the recent finings are due to complaints from average peo ple, not the labor of the FCC. "We do not monitor broadcast Howard Stern loses stations because airtinle for comments. there are just too many," she says. "We simply act on complaints made to us." The FCC's goal is to enforce rules of congress to protect broadcasts from being indecent, obscene or profane, Wise says. Popular shock jock Howard Stem, who was recently dropped from six stations for indecency, has a different view on the inten tions of the FCC. In a statement released on his Web site after getting dropped, he says the action did not come as a surprise. "They and others ... are expressing and Brock imposing their opinions and rights to tell us . Roman all who and what we may listen to," he states. The FCC fined Clear Channel Broadcasting, Inc. $495,000 in for feitures April 8 for willfully broadcasting indecent material, according ·to a press release made available by the FCC. In the near future, the FCC may be able to fine in even larger amounts. The Broadcast Decency Enforcement Act was passed in the House of Representatives March 11 and will give the FCC the ability to impose fines of up to $-500,000 per violation, and increase from $27,500. : Hypothetically, the maximum penalty Dana for Clear Channel's violations under this Rohrbough .new legislation would be $9 million. :- Chuck Tarver, station manager at -W-VUD, says he does not believe clamping ·down on individual instances of indecency is either fair or effective. : : "The FCC is taking the wrong approach ·t9 :elirninating indecency," he says. - Tarver says he feels localism is missing fr~m the picture. Radio is very personal because listeners feel a connection to the DJs they hear. . : Because many syndicated broadcasts arc aired in different places than where they a_re produced, li steners lose the ability to Dana control their radio programming, he says.
