TIFFANY NETWORK GETS TO KEEP SOME MONEY -- I read today that CBS will

not have to pay the $550,000 fine originally levied against them by the FCC for the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction debacle. Four years after the "did I just see that?" moment, federal judges ruled that the FCC:
"acted arbitrarily and capriciously" in penalizing the network for a "fleeting image of nudity."
Hmmm... is the FCC's iron fist grip and command over the airwaves weakening? Something tells me that George Carlin is laughing at the FCC's woes and saying "#@$&%^!?"$.

Soon after that Super Bowl boob tube incident occurred, there was such a shakeup in the modus operandi in broadcasting. CBS was hit with a lot of public backlash, FCC fines were raised, plus radio and TV personnel alike were watching their Ps and Qs for fear of being fined. But after the FCC setback, now the questions remain:

• Will radio stations and TV networks be emboldened and air racier, more controversial material?
• Will the FCC reassess their policies?
• Will radio stations and TV networks be able to find the right balance between reflecting current culture while showing common decency and listening to public decree?
• Will I ever find out why there was a huge stone statue of a foot on Lost? (oops scratch that)

I guess we just have to stay tuned to the 'same bat channel, same bat station.'
