Radio Rumors Swirling: More Fines For Howard Stern On Horizon

Radio industry publication, FMQB says Howard Stern may be faceing more indecency fines according to a report in Broadcasting & Cable.

This time, the F.C.C. may fine Stern in the six-figure range.

FMQB reports:

...the new proposed forfeiture will be the first where the Commission treats different utterances in the same show as separate violations. That's something they've been threatening to do since moving indecency to the front burner this year.

Stern's employer, Infinity Broadcasting, was most recently fined $27,500 on March 18th for comments made during his program broadcast over WKRK, Detroit.
