WASHINGTON, DC – In a 2-1 ruling, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit in New York today issued a ruling, which vacates and remands a 2006 FCC indecency decision against Fox Broadcasting.
The following statement can be attributed to NAB Executive Vice President Dennis Wharton:
"This is a timely opinion as public policymakers weigh the merits of further program content restrictions. NAB has long believed that responsible industry self-regulation is preferable to government regulation in areas of programming content."
