 SEPARATE  STATEMENT  OF  COMMISSIONER  KEVIN  J.  MARTIN 
 APPROVING  IN  PART,  CONCURRING  IN  PART 
 Re:  WQAM  License  Limited  Partnership,  Licensee  of  Station  WQAM(  AM),  Miami,  FL,  Notice  of  Apparent  Liability  for  Forfeiture 


 Consistent  with  my  past  statements,  I  believe  we  should  be  fining  broadcasters  on  a  “per  utterance”  basis.  1  In  this  instance,  we  could  have  found  several  violations  within  the  broadcasts 
 at  issue  and  therefore  could  have  assessed  a  larger  fine. 


 1  See,  e.  g.,  Separate  Statement  of  Commissioner  Martin,  Infinity  Broadcasting  Operations,  Inc.,  Licensee  of 
 Station  WKRK-  FM,  Detroit,  Michigan,  Notice  of  Apparent  Liability,  18  FCC  Rcd.  6915,  6939  (2003)  (urging  the  Commission  to  fine  violators  “per  utterance”).
