STATEMENT OF
COMMISSIONER JONATHAN S. ADELSTEIN
Re: Capstar TX Limited Partnership, Licensee of
Station WAVW(FM)(formerly WZZR(FM)), Stuart, Florida,
and Station WCZR(FM), Vero Beach, Florida; 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. While I am pleased that today we
affirmatively find that a tape or transcript is not
necessary, I also remind complainants to provide a
sufficient description on which we can understand the full
context in which the material was broadcast. And I urge
broadcasters to assist the Commission fully with its
investigations.
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.
