COURT INDECENCY HEARING AUGUST 8
[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
The Federal Appeals Court in New York wants to hear from both sides on the FCC's request to get another crack at four profanity decisions challenged in that court by broadcasters. The court told attorney's this week that it would hear oral arguments from "any party desiring" to weigh in on the FCC remand request and oppositions to that request on August 8 at 2 p.m. Broadcasters challenged the four decisions, saying they were unconstitutional. The court stayed the filing of opening briefs in the case, which had been scheduled for earlier this month, and now won't be able to start until after it hears argument and rules on the remand.
