STATEMENT OF
COMMISSIONER JONATHAN S. ADELSTEIN
Re: Infinity Radio License, Inc., Licensee of
Station WLLD(FM), Holmes Beach, Florida;
Memorandum Opinion and Order
I support this Order affirming a forfeiture for the
broadcast of indecent material at a time when children may
be in the audience. Were I acting on a clean slate, I would
have imposed a higher fine given the nature of the broadcast
and the licensee's history. Nevertheless, recognizing that
four and a half years have already passed since this
broadcast, I am reluctant to start the process anew. The
unnecessary delay in this case is regrettable. Such delay
can impede the Commission's ability to meet our obligation
to enforce statutory and regulatory provisions restricting
broadcast indecency.
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.
