Note that last sentence from Wharton. RadioZombie has been saying from the beginning that cencorship ...er... excuse me, "decency" would be following the "King of all Media" to his new satellite kingdom, and it looks like the royal assassins were on his heels faster than even I imagined. Here's the "official" document.The FCC can immediately slap a one-time indecency fine of $325,000 on an offender.Just like that - Bush signs the Broadcast Decency Enforcement Act this morning and fines go up ten-fold. There's a $3 million cap for a continuing violation. NAB's Dennis Wharton says the industry prefers "responsible self-regulation" - but failing that, thinks the standards should apply "equally to cable and satellite TV and satellite radio."
How about a "Presidential Decency act?"
