HIGH COURT TEES UP F-WORD CASE
[SOURCE: Multichannel News, AUTHOR: Ted Hearn]
The Federal Communications Commission will learn Feb. 29 whether the Supreme Court will take the case in which the agency is attempting to restore its authority to fine TV stations for the isolated, fleeting broadcast of the F-word under federal indecency laws. The high court posted on its web site last week a notice that the nine justices would meet on the last day of the month to considered the FCC’s appeal, which has the support of the U.S. Solicitor General Paul Clement. The votes of four justices are needed to ensure the court’s review.
