SUPREME COURT EXTENDS DEADLINE FOR INDECENCY RESPONSES
[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
Monday was the deadline for filing responses to the FCC’s and Justice Department's decision to seek Supreme Court review of the lower-court decision on swearing on Fox's Billboard Music Awards. But Fox sought, and the court granted, a 30-day extension that will take everyone past the holidays. Such extensions are fairly routinely asked for and granted around the holidays. The FCC's profanity-enforcement policy is likely to remain in limbo through much of 2008.
