The investigation stemmed from complaints about programming that included the Spanish-language television show Jose Luis Sin Censura (Jose Luis Uncensored), which aired on certain Liberman stations in Texas, California, and Utah. The Commission received a number of complaints about Jose Luis Sin Censura, including complaints filed by GLAAD and the National Hispanic Media Coalition in February 2011. The Bureau launched an investigation based on these and other complaints alleging, among other things, that the Jose Luis show on several occasions featured pornographic film performers and exotic dancers who engaged in behavior inconsistent with the Commission’s indecency standards for broadcast programming that is aired during the day and early evening. Liberman discontinued broadcasting Jose Luis Sin Censura in August 2012. Liberman fully cooperated with the Bureau’s investigation and, as part of the consent decree, committed to several ongoing efforts to help ensure future compliance with the Commission’s indecency rules. Under the terms of today’s consent decree, Liberman has agreed to make a voluntary payment in the amount of $110,000 to the U.S. Treasury. Liberman has also agreed to a three-year, comprehensive compliance plan, which includes: the appointment of a compliance officer; the establishment of operating procedures to ensure compliance; the creation of a compliance manual; annual employee training; and compliance reporting, including self-reporting of possible violations in the future.
