HoustonChronicle.com - Clear Channel faces $755,000 indecency fine

"The Federal Communications Commission on Tuesday proposed a $755,000 fine against Clear Channel Communications for broadcasting a sexually explicit radio show on four Florida stations -- the highest levy ever imposed at one time for indecency violations.
The FCC said the four stations aired episodes of Bubba the Love Sponge 26 times.
"

Clear Channel is the best representation of a Goebbels-style takeover of news and entertainment -- even more so than Murdoch's News Corp. But in what is probably a case of 1st amendment rights, I hate to see that the defendant might be Clear Channel. Will we see the ACLU fight for Clear Channel's rights? Shudder the thought.

The name of their show seems to follow a certain Bubba logic!
