 FCC  PROPOSES  MAXIMUM  FORFEITURE  OF  $55,000  AGAINST  ENTERCOM  FOR  APPARENT  VIOLATIONS  OF  INDECENCY  RULE 
 Washington,  D.  C.:  The  Federal  Communications  Commission  today  issued  a  Notice  of  Apparent  Liability  for  Forfeiture  against  Entercom  Sacramento  License,  LLC,  for  broadcasting 
 apparently  indecent  material  on  two  separate  occasions  over  Station  KRXQ(  FM),  Sacramento,  California.  The  material  at  issue  aired  during  the  “Rob,  Arnie  &  Dawn  In  the  Morning  Show.” 
 The  Commission  proposed  a  forfeiture  in  the  maximum  amount  allowed  by  law  ($  27,500)  for  each  of  the  two  apparently  indecent  broadcasts,  for  a  total  proposed  forfeiture  of  $55,000. 


 The  Commission  found  that  the  broadcasts,  which  aired  between  7  and  10  a.  m.,  a  time  when  children  were  likely  to  be  in  the  audience,  involved  graphic  and  explicit  discussions  about  sexual 
 and/  or  excretory  organs  and  activities,  and  were  patently  offensive.  The  Commission  proposed  the  maximum  amount  permitted  by  statute  because  of  the  egregious  nature  of  the  misconduct  and 
 Entercom’s  history  of  violations. 
 By  the  Commission:  Commissioners  Copps  and  Martin  approving  in  part,  concurring  in  part  and  issuing  separate  statements,  FCC  04-  224,  October  15,  2004.
