Fox Challenges FCC’s Married by America Fine

In 2003, Fox aired a program called "Married by America" which featured pixilated nudity and was later fined by the Federal Communications Commission. The fine was initially $1.18 million -- $7,000 for each of the 169 stations that aired the program -- but the FCC wound up only fining the handful of stations where complaints had actually been filed in that market per a new policy, calling it part of its "appropriately restrained enforcement policy." On Monday the network announced, "Fox will not be paying the indecency fine imposed by the Federal Communications Commission against five of its owned stations in the forfeiture order issued Feb. 21, 2008, for the April 7, 2003, airing of the program Married by America. Sinclair Broadcast Group and Mountain Licenses L.P. will also not be paying the indecency fine."
