STATEMENT OF
COMMISSIONER JONATHAN S. ADELSTEIN
Re: Infinity Broadcasting Operations, Inc.,
Licensee of Station WKRK-FM, Detroit, Michigan;
Memorandum Opinion and Order
I am pleased that today we deny a reconsideration
petition and allow this case to proceed. I strongly
supported the imposition of the statutory maximum forfeiture
amount against Infinity Broadcasting Operations, Inc.,
licensee of station WKRK-FM, Detroit, Michigan, for the
willful broadcast of grossly indecent language during the
``Deminski and Doyle Show'' on January 9, 2002. The
material was some of the most egregious broadcast indecency
that I have yet encountered. I am disappointed that the
licensee in this case continues to challenge this sanction
rather than accept responsibility for such an extreme
violation of our rules.
