This comes just as the FCC rejects CBS's appeal and orders that their $550,000 fine for Janet Jackson's Superbowl 2004 half-time exposure will stand.

The AFA and other "family" organizations are flooding the FCC with complaints to take advantage of their new power.
Many broadcasters are deciding that ending live programming may a necessity to protect themselves from things out of their control
Brownback's next goal is to get the rules extended to cable and satellite
The House is expected to approve a Senate bill Wednesday that includes a tenfold increase in indecency fines to a maximum of $325,000 for each violation. The bill, called the Broadcast Decency Enforcement Act, unanimously passed the Senate last month.
President Bush is expected to sign the legislation, ending a more than two-year quest by lawmakers and family groups for tougher indecency penalties after Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction" on CBS during the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show.
"This is a victory for children and families," Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Kan.), the sponsor of the Senate bill, said in a statement Friday.
