ABC PAYS NYPD BLUE FINE, APPEALS DECISION IN FEDERAL COURT
[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
ABC appealed the Federal Communications Commission's proposed $1 million-plus NYPD Blue fine to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit -- the same court that said the FCC's fleeting profanity policy was arbitrary and capricious. But first it paid $1,237,500 in fines for its two owned stations and the 43 other affiliates cited. ABC said it needed to pay before it could appeal the decision to the court.
