Satellite Radio Escapes FCC Incecency Standards

XM and Sirius will continue to be free from FCC indecency regulations for now. The Feds denied request from Mt. Wilson FM Broadcasters stating, "The commission has previously ruled that subscription-based services do not call into play the issue of indecency and, consistent with existing case law, does not impose regulations regarding indecency on services lacking the indiscriminate access to children that characterizes broadcasting," Media Bureau Chief Ken Ferree concluded, "Your petition does not provide a basis to revisit that determination."
