Court Tosses ABC Indecency Fine
- Reuters, Tuesday, January 4, 2011 10:57 PM
Tuesday's decision arose from the appeals court's ruling last July that the indecency policy under which the U.S. Federal Communications Commission had assessed the penalty was unconstitutionally vague. The FCC imposed in February 2008 a $27,500 fine against each of the 44 ABC affiliates for showing the "NYPD Blue" episode five years earlier. Walt Disney Co owns ABC.
