FCC Lays Off Satellite Radio

Filed under: — dan @ 7:03 pm

Howard Stern

Man, what will Howard Stern talk about all day on his show on Sirius satellite radio, now that the FCC has said they won’t muck up the satellite airwaves since it is a pay service and thus, not under their control. Who’s his next target going to be? More Bush bashing? It’s either going to be real interesting or real dull come January 2006.

Howard Stern will be free to be indecent on satellite radio, the Federal Communications Commission effectively said Wednesday—a decision that should also make cable- and satellite-TV providers breathe easier, at least for now.

The FCC declined to open a proceeding on whether satellite radio is indecent, saying that it is a subscription service and that the agency has already ruled that such services “do not call into play the issue of indecency.”
