Clear Channel to FCC: wash XM-Sirius' mouth out with soap
by Matthew Lasar Mar 25 2008 - 9:56am Ars Technica story
The nation's biggest radio station owner has asked the Federal Communications Commission to force a merged XM/Sirius satellite radio company to obey the agency's indecency laws as a condition for union. "One of the primary potential dangers to free, over-the-air radio posed by this merger is siphoning popular, including 'edgy' content, with consequent loss of advertising revenue," Clear Channel wrote to the FCC on March 11th. "That potential harm is mitigated if broadcast decency rules were to apply to the merged entity. There is no constitutional bar to such a condition." Bookmark/Search this post with:           |
