COPPS: FCC NOT ASLEEP AT INDECENCY SWITCH
[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
Federal Communications Commission member Michael Copps said he reviewed the NYPD Blue clip that drew a $1.4 million fine last week and concluded that it was indecent. Asked what broadcasters’ takeaway from that proposed fine should be, Commissioner Copps said, "The FCC is not asleep at the switch on this issue and we remain alive to our statutory responsibilities to be responsive to complaints." He added that the FCC's continuing concern was reflected in the unanimous judgment of the commissioners on the item.
