                     SEPARATE STATEMENT 
                 COMISSIONER KEVIN J. MARTIN
                         CONCURRING

Re:  Infinity Broadcasting Operations, Inc., Licensee of 
Station WKRK-FM, Detroit, Michigan, Forfeiture Order

     I am disappointed with today's decision. 

     I agree that Infinity Broadcasting Operations, Inc. 
violated our indecency rule during the broadcast of the 
``Deminski and Doyle Show'' on January 9, 2002.  As I noted 
when we issued the Notice of Apparent Liability, however, I 
believe the fine of $27,500 is inadequate, and therefore I 
concur in this Order.  

     As the attached Order explains, the indecent broadcast 
included conversations with nine callers over a 30-minute 
period.  I believe each of these 9 calls could be separate 
``utterances'' or ``material'' for purposes of the statute 
and our rules.1  Because of the extremely graphic, lewd and 
offensive nature of this broadcast, I would have applied the 
statutory maximum fine for each call, for a total of 
$247,500.
