*Pages 1--1 from Microsoft Word - 36578* STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER JONATHAN S. ADELSTEIN Re: AMFM Radio Licenses, L. L. C., Licensee of Station WWDC( FM), Washington, DC; Clear Channel Broadcasting Licenses, Inc., Licensee of Station WRXL( FM), Richmond, Virginia; Capstar TX Limited Partnership, Licensee of Station WOSC( FM), Bethany Beach, Delaware; Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture I support this Notice of Apparent Liability for the broadcast of indecent material at a time when children may be in the audience. By issuing this NAL, we step up to our responsibility to enforce statutory and regulatory provisions restricting broadcast indecency. Once again, we impose statutory maximum fines and remind broadcasters that the Commission can and will avail itself of a range of enforcement sanctions, including acting on each separate indecent utterance, or initiating proceedings that could result in the revocation of station licenses for serious, repeated violations. Since I arrived at the Commission, we have greatly stepped up our enforcement against indecent broadcasts. I expect that these stepped- up actions will convince broadcasters that they cannot ignore their responsibility to serve the public interest and to avoid the broadcast of indecent material over the public airwaves. Indeed, Clear Channel has recently taken steps to show that it is meeting this obligation, including the payment of an unprecedented fine without objection for a past indecency violation. 1
