 FORFEITURE  ORDER 
 Adopted:  October  31,  2002  Released:  November  1,  2002 
 By  the  Chief,  Enforcement  Bureau: 
 I.  INTRODUCTION 
 1.  In  this  Forfeiture  Order,  we  impose  a  forfeiture  of  $21,000  on  Emmis  Radio  License  Corporation  (  Emmis),  licensee  of  Station  WKQX(  FM),  Chicago,  Illinois,  for  willful  and  repeated 
 violations  of  18  U.  S.  C.    1464  and  47  C.  F.  R.    73.3999,  which  prohibit  the  broadcast  of  indecent  material  at  certain  times  of  day.  We  take  this  action  pursuant  to  47  U.  S.  C.    503(  b)(  1)(  D)  and  47 
 C.  F.  R.    1.80(  f)(  4). 
 II.  BACKGROUND 
 2.  The  Commission  received  complaints  that  WKQX(  FM)  broadcast  indecent  material  on  March  6,  2001,  March  7,  2001  and  May  17,  2001  between  8:  00  a.  m.  and  9:  00  a.  m.  during  the 
 Mancows  Morning  Madhouse  (  Mancow)  program.  The  complainant  submitted  a  tape  of  each  of  the  Mancow  programs  containing  the  allegedly  indecent  material.  After  reviewing  the 
 complainants  tapes,  we  issued  letters  of  inquiry  to  Emmis  that  included  transcripts  of  the  tapes  submitted  by  the  complainant.  See  Attachment.  In  its  response,  Emmis  stated  that  it  could  not 
 verify  the  accuracy  of  the  transcripts  because  WKQX(  FM)  does  not  routinely  archive  tapes  or  transcripts  of  its  programming.  However,  Emmis  argued  that  even  assuming  the  accuracy  of  the 
 transcripts,  the  programming  at  issue  is  not  patently  offensive  as  measured  by  contemporary  community  standards  for  the  broadcast  medium,  and  thus  is  not  actionably  indecent. 
 3.  On  March  21,  2002,  the  Bureau  issued  a  Notice  of  Apparent  Liability  (  NAL),  1  which  found  that  the  material  apparently  violated  the  Commissions  indecency  rule.  We  concluded  that  a 
 monetary  sanction  in  the  base  forfeiture  amount  of  $7,000  appeared  appropriate  with  respect  to  each  broadcast.  Accordingly,  the  NAL  proposed  a  forfeiture  of  $21,000. 
 4.  Emmis  submitted  a  response  challenging  the  NALs  findings,  which  we  will  address  here.  2  Emmis  argues  that  the  complained  of  material  does  not  satisfy  the  Commissions 
 1  Emmis  Radio  License  Corporation,  Notice  of  Apparent  Liability,  17  FCC  Rcd  5263  (EB  2002). 
 2  Emmis  repeats  arguments  made  in  response  to  the  letters  of  inquiry  with  respect  to  the  complained  of 
 broadcasts.  Specifically,  Emmis  argues  that  the  March  6,  2001  broadcast  is  less  explicit  than  broadcasts  in  which  no  enforcement  action  was  taken,  citing  the  same  decisions  contained  in  its  response  to  our  letter  of

 definition  of  broadcast  indecency  and  thus  that  the  NAL  should  be  rescinded  and  the  proposed  forfeiture  cancelled. 
 III.  DISCUSSION 
 5.  It  is  a  violation  of  federal  law  to  broadcast  obscene  or  indecent  programming.  Specifically,  Title  18  of  the  United  States  Code,  Section  1464  (18  U.  S.  C.    1464),  prohibits  the 
 utterance  of  any  obscene,  indecent  or  profane  language  by  means  of  radio  communication.  Congress  has  given  the  Federal  Communications  Commission  the  responsibility  for 
 administratively  enforcing  18  U.  S.  C.    1464.  In  doing  so,  the  Commission  may,  among  other  things,  impose  a  monetary  forfeiture,  pursuant  to  Section  503(  b)(  1)  of  the  Communications  Act 
 of  1934,  as  amended  (the  Act),  47  U.  S.  C.    503(  b)(  1),  for  broadcast  of  indecent  material  in  violation  of  18  U.  S.  C.    1464.  Federal  courts  have  upheld  Congresss  authority  to  regulate 
 obscene  speech  and,  to  a  limited  extent,  indecent  speech.  Specifically,  the  U.  S.  Supreme  Court  has  determined  that  obscene  speech  is  not  entitled  to  First  Amendment  protection.  Accordingly, 
 Congress  may  prohibit  the  broadcast  of  obscene  speech  at  any  time.  3  In  contrast,  federal  courts  have  held  that  indecent  speech  is  protected  by  the  First  Amendment.  4  Nonetheless,  the  federal 
 courts  consistently  have  upheld  Congresss  authority  to  regulate  the  broadcast  of  indecent  speech,  as  well  as  the  Commissions  interpretation  and  implementation  of  the  statute.  5  However,  the  First 
 Amendment  is  a  critical  constitutional  limitation  that  demands  we  proceed  cautiously  and  with  appropriate  restraint.  6  Consistent  with  a  subsequent  statute  and  case  law,  7  under  the 
 Commissions  rules,  no  radio  or  television  licensee  shall  broadcast  obscene  material  at  any  time,  or  broadcast  indecent  material  during  the  period  6  a.  m.  through  10  p.  m.  See  47  C.  F.  R.    73.  3999. 
 6.  In  enforcing  its  indecency  rule,  the  Commission  has  defined  indecent  speech  as  language  that  first,  in  context,  depicts  or  describes  sexual  or  excretory  organs  or  activities. 
 Second,  the  broadcast  must  be  patently  offensive  as  measured  by  contemporary  community  standards  for  the  broadcast  medium.  Infinity  Broadcasting  Corporation  of  Pennsylvania,  2  FCC 
 inquiry.  In  addition,  Emmis  repeats  its  arguments  that  the  complaints  at  issue  were  initiated  by  a  single  individual  or  group  and  do  not  accurately  reflect  a  national  community  standard  for  the  broadcast  medium. 
 Because  we  believe  that  these  arguments  were  adequately  addressed  in  the  NAL,  we  do  not  address  them  again  here.

 Rcd  2705  (1987)  (subsequent  history  omitted)  (citing  Pacifica  Foundation,  56  FCC  2d  94,  98  (1975),  affd  sub  nom.  FCC  v.  Pacifica  Foundation,  438  U.  S.  726  (1978)).  This  definition  has 
 been  specifically  upheld  by  the  federal  courts.  8  The  Commissions  authority  to  restrict  the  broadcast  of  indecent  material  extends  to  times  when  there  is  a  reasonable  risk  that  children  may 
 be  in  the  audience.  ACT  I,  supra.  As  noted  above,  current  law  holds  that  such  times  begin  at  6  a.  m.  and  conclude  at  10  p.  m.  9 
 7.  The  Commissions  indecency  enforcement  is  based  on  complaints  from  the  public.  Once  a  complaint  is  before  the  Commission,  we  evaluate  the  facts  of  the  particular  case  and  apply 
 the  standards  developed  through  Commission  case  law  and  upheld  by  the  courts.  See  Industry  Guidance  on  the  Commissions  Case  Law  Interpreting  18  U.  S.  C.    1464  and  Enforcement 
 Policies  Regarding  Broadcast  Indecency,  16  FCC  Rcd  7999,  8015    24  (2001)(  Indecency  Policy  Statement).  Given  the  sensitive  nature  of  these  cases  and  the  critical  role  of  context  in  an 
 indecency  determination,  it  is  important  that  the  Commission  be  afforded  as  full  a  record  as  possible  to  evaluate  allegations  of  indecent  programming.  Id.  In  evaluating  the  record  to 
 determine  whether  the  complained  of  material  is  patently  offensive,  three  factors  are  particularly  relevant:  (1)  the  explicitness  or  graphic  nature  of  the  description;  (2)  whether  the  material  dwells 
 on  or  repeats  at  length  descriptions  of  sexual  or  excretory  organs  or  activities;  and  (3)  whether  the  material  appears  to  pander  or  is  used  to  titillate  or  shock.  See  Indecency  Policy  Statement,  16  FCC 
 Rcd  at  8003    10. 
 8.  As  discussed  below,  we  reject  Emmiss  assertion  that  the  broadcasts  on  March  6,  2001,  March  7,  2001  and  May  17,  2001  were  not  patently  offensive,  and  thus  do  not  meet  the 
 Commissions  definition  of  indecent  material.  We  conclude  that  these  broadcasts  violated  the  Commissions  indecency  rule. 
 9.  First,  we  disagree  with  Emmiss  assertion  that  the  sexual  references  contained  in  the  material  broadcast  on  March  6  and  March  7,  2001  rely  solely  on  innuendo  and  are  not  explicit  or 
 graphic.  In  any  event,  the  Commission  has  repeatedly  held  that  innuendo  may  be  patently  offensive  within  the  meaning  of  our  indecency  definition  if  it  is  understandable  and  clearly 
 capable  of  a  specific  sexual  or  excretory  meaning,  which  in  context,  is  inescapable.  10  The  material  broadcast  on  March  6,  2001  contains  sexual  innuendo,  including  references  to  oral  sex, 
 genitalia,  masturbation,  ejaculation  and  excretory  activities.  Contrary  to  Emmiss  assertion,  the  sexual  references  broadcast  on  March  6,  2001  were  not  fleeting.  11  The  material  broadcast  on 
 March  7,  2001,  which  concerns  the  effect  of  a  sexual  stimulant  on  a  female  cast  member  and  the  reaction  of  others  present  to  her  sexual  response  has  a  sexual  meaning  that  is  unmistakable.  We 
 also  reject  Emmiss  argument  that  the  material  broadcast  on  March  6,  2001  and  March  7,  2001 
 8  In  FCC  v.  Pacifica  Foundation,  the  Court  quoted  the  Commissions  definition  of  indecency  with  apparent 
 approval.  FCC  v.  Pacifica  Foundation,  supra  note  5,  438  U.  S.  at  732.  In  addition,  the  D.  C.  Circuit  Court  of  Appeals  upheld  the  definition  against  constitutional  challenges.  ACT  I,  supra  note  5,  852  F.  2d  at  1339;  ACT 
 II,  supra  note  5,  932  F.  2d  at  1508;  ACT  III,  supra  note  5,  58  F.  3d  at  657.

 does  not  appear  to  have  been  presented  to  pander,  titillate  or  shock.  Moreover,  the  material  broadcast  on  March  6,  2001  and  March  7,  2001  is  similar  to  other  material  that  has  been  found  to 
 be  patently  offensive.  12 
 10.  Emmis  also  asserts  that  the  May  17,  2001  broadcast  contained  warnings  about  the  content  of  the  material,  and  that  our  NAL  did  not  discuss  the  relevance  of  these  warnings. 
 However,  the  NAL  found  that  [  t]  he  presence  of  the  warnings,  considering  the  overall  context  of  the  [May  17,  2001]  broadcast,  is  not  a  sufficient  basis  to  conclude  that  the  sexual  references  are 
 not  patently  offensive.  13  In  this  regard,  Emmis  also  argues  that  the  May  17,  2001  broadcast  relies  heavily  on  innuendo  and  oblique  references,  and  is  not  pandering,  titillating  or  shocking. 
 We  disagree.  As  we  stated  in  the  NAL,  the  material  broadcast  on  May  17,  2001,  which  includes  numerous  sexual  references  during  a  discussion  among  women  in  the  Mancow  programs  lava 
 lamp  love  lounge,  in  context,  has  a  sexual  meaning  that  is  unmistakable,  and  is  similar  to  other  material  found  to  have  clearly  understandable  sexual  references  and  that  has  been  found  to  be 
 patently  offensive.  14 
 11.  Section  503(  b)  of  the  Act  and  47  C.  F.  R.    1.80  both  state  that  any  person  who  willfully  or  repeatedly  fails  to  comply  with  the  Act  or  the  Commissions  rules  shall  be  liable  for  a  forfeiture 
 penalty.  For  purposes  of  47  U.  S.  C.    503(  b),  the  term  willfully  means  that  the  violator  knew  that  it  was  taking  the  action  in  question,  irrespective  of  any  intent  to  violate  the  Commissions  rules, 
 while  repeatedly  means  more  than  once.  15  In  assessing  a  forfeiture,  we  take  into  account  the  nature,  circumstances,  extent  and  gravity  of  the  violation,  and,  with  respect  to  the  violator,  the 
 degree  of  culpability,  any  history  of  prior  offenses,  ability  to  pay,  and  such  other  matters  as  justice  may  require.  16 
 12.  The  Commissions  Forfeiture  Guidelines  set  a  base  forfeiture  amount  of  $7,000  for  transmission  of  indecent/  obscene  materials.  17  After  considering  all  the  facts  and  circumstances, 
 we  conclude  that  the  base  forfeiture  amount  is  the  appropriate  sanction  for  each  of  the  occasions  on  which  WKQX(  FM)  broadcast  indecent  material. 
 12  See,  e.  g.,  GA-  MEX  Broadcasting,  Inc.,  supra  note  10,  17  FCC  Rcd  8143  (EB  2002)(  forfeiture  paid);

 citation  to    34  of  the  Indecency  Policy  Statement.  To  the  extent  that  this  citation  is  intended  to  suggest  that  we  failed  to  completely  address  Emmiss  argument  concerning  the  presence  of  warnings,  we  note  that  the 
 Indecency  Policy  Statement  concludes  at    31  and  does  not  contain  a  paragraph  numbered  34.

 M:  Okay.  All  right,  all  right.  You  must  have  just  gotten  out  of  the  shower.  Your  whole  body  was  wet.

 M:  Dont  slap  it,  rub  it  nice. 
 FV2:  Hes  getting  violent. 
 M:  Laurie,  Laurie,  talk  to  me  about  this  stuff. 
 FV1:  Yes.  This  is  a  herb  drink  that  comes  from  Sweden  and  its  got  the  main  ingredient  that  is  a  sexual  stimulant  for  the  women  is  the  domiana  amate.

 M:  How  many  uh  drinks  does  it  take  before  uh  a  stranger  be  willing  to  open  her  legs  for  me? 
 FV1:  Uh,  one  drink  and  within  twenty  minutes  youll  feel  it  in  your  body. 
 FV2:  Thats  true.  Right  after  twenty  minutes 
 MV2:  She  just  raised  her  hand  when  you  said  that. 
 FV2:  Exactly.  Right  after  twenty  minutes  I  was  just  feeling  it. 
 FV1:  Right.

 M:  Good  man,  what  can  I  do  for  you? 
 D:  Well,  uh,  every  time  I  bang  my  fiance,  I  realize  that  I  cant  possibly  get  off  unless  I 
 fantasize  about  ex-  girlfriends  or  women  Id  like  to  be  with,  and  I  just  want  your  advice.  I 
 just  want  to  know  if  you  think  this  is  innocent  or  if  its  cheating.  I  mean  you  might  want 
 to  hear  some  of  my  fantasies,  and  you  can  judge  for  yourself  if  Ive  got  a  problem  here.

 G:  Couple  times  a  day  just  depending  on  how  busy  my  workload  is 
 G:  I  think  that  it  depends  on  if  there  is  a  guy  in  my  life. 
 Or  the  lack  of  guy  in  my  life. 
 G:  Do  you  do  it  like  in  the  office?

 You  would  think  that  they  wouldnt  want  to  see  panty  lines  because  you  know  that  means 
 that  you  arent  wearing  any  underwear.  If  you  cant  see  em. 
 G:  Thats  the  whole  reason  behind  thongs,  so  that  you  know,  I  mean,  thongs  are  sexy. 
 Pants  off. 
 G:  When  you  take  your  pants  off,  and  you  have  a  thong  on,  you  know  that  turns  them  on. 
 Totally,  when  you  take  your  pants  off  right  from  behind  and  that  thong  going  down. 
 Personally,  I  like  the  panties  that  have  a  little  stuff  missing  down  there  Im  not  sure  if  I 
 can  say  that  here.

 Yeah,  yeah.
