II. BACKGROUND
3. Pursuant to Title 18 of the United States Code, Section 1464, the utterance of “any 
obscene, indecent or profane language by means of radio communication” is prohibited.6 In addition, 
Section 73.3999 of the Rules provides that radio and television stations shall not broadcast obscene 
material at any time7 and, consistent with a subsequent statute and court case, shall not broadcast indecent 
material between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.8
4. The Commission received Complaints alleging that Liberman stations broadcast material 
that violates the Indecency Laws.  A number of Complaints specifically cite material broadcast during 
certain episodes of the now-discontinued Spanish-language program Jose Luis, which aired between 6 
a.m. and 10 p.m.  In response, the Bureau issued Letters of Inquiry to Licensee, directing it to submit 
video or audio recordings of the complained-of broadcasts and to submit sworn, written responses to 
questions relating to possible violations of the Indecency Laws.9 Liberman responded on September 19, 
2007,10 and September 14, 2011.11 With certain exceptions, Liberman admits that it broadcast the 
material at issue12 and included video recordings of that programming with its Responses.  Liberman has 
consistently maintained that the broadcasts did not violate the Indecency Laws.13 The Bureau disagrees.  
Liberman also points out that, as of August 8, 2012, it ceased airing Jose Luis, and explains that it has 
otherwise revised its programming line-up and no longer produces a program similar to Jose Luis.14
