The commission found today that three radio stations had made indecent broadcasts.

The Federal Communications Commission has the right to regulate indecent broadcasts.

The money from penalties from obscene, indecent, and profane broadcasts would have been given to faith-based organizations.

The F.C.C. defines "indecent" broadcasts as those that describe "sexual or excretory activities or organs" and are "patently offensive" as measured by contemporary community standards for broadcasting.

The Federal Communications Commission, in a new ruling, has reinstated a total ban on indecent broadcasts.

As justification for proposing the maximum fine, the Commission noted "the egregious nature of the violations and Entercom's history of prior indecent broadcasts."

Three radio stations face Federal Communications Commission action for allegedly airing indecent broadcasts during daytime hours, the agency said Thursday.

This week a Federal appeals court struck down Government regulations that permit "indecent" broadcasts only between midnight and 6 A.M., when children who know all too well how to work the videocorder are presumably asleep.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) later deemed the broadcast "vulgar and indecent" and "far below even the minimum standard which should control in the selection and production of broadcast programs".
