Broadcast Censorship

The FCC and congress increased the maximum fine for violations since the Super Bowl XXXVIII incident.

“The Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show controversy increased the political pressure on the FCC to vigorously police the airwaves. In addition, Congress increased the maximum fine the FCC may levy from US $268,500 to US $375,000 per incident.”

With the FCC and congress increased the maximum fine for violations shows that the FCC is trying to make it more expensive for people when they break the FCC’s law.
