The new fines are $275,000 per incident up to $3 million per day. Since the FCC often has considered the same programming on more than one station as separate incidents, I read that to mean that if your local jock slips up the station is liable for $275,000 but if someone syndicated like Howard Stern slips up they're set to go for 3 mill. It's interesting they feel the need to attatch this to a defense bill, given the snowball momentum support for cleaning up the airwaves has gotten since boobygate.
This really wouldn't be that big of a deal if some of the ones who get these things passed didn't have their eye on cable, satellite TV/Radio & the internet...
