WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court ruled narrowly Tuesday in favor of a government policy that threatens broadcasters with fines over the use of even a single curse word on live television, yet stopped short of deciding whether the policy violates the Constitution.
In six separate opinions totalling 68 pages, the justices signaled serious concerns about the constitutionality of the Federal Communications Commission's "fleeting expletives" policy, but called on a federal appeals court to weigh whether it violates First Amendment guarantees of free speech.

The Supreme Court ordered a lower
court Monday to reconsider its decision tossing out a fine against CBS
for Janet Jackson's exposed breast during the Super Bowl halftime show
in 2004.
In a brief order, the justices sent the case of
the "wardrobe malfunction" back to the appeals court in light of a
related high-court decision last week. That decision, in a case
involving expletives uttered by Cher and other celebrities, upheld the
Federal Communications Commission's sanctioning of broadcast TV for
even the one-time use of expletives related to sexual or excretory
functions.

Reinvention is a necessity for traditional media companies to
survive in the digital world. Two media consultants, McVay New Media’s
Daniel Anstandig and Geller Media International’s Valerie Geller teamed
together to offer a practical vision for the radio station of the
not-too-distant future. Change is not a four letter word. This is the
time for us to embrace change, restructure our strategy and staff, and
prepare for a prosperous future.
Ever hear the expression “The only person who likes change is a wet
baby?” Well like it or not, we’re in the full throws of major change.
First, it was consolidation, then the technological shift… now the
“rightsizing” and globalization of our financial market, forcing
broadcasters to navigate our brave new economic world. (Many might
suggest that the wet baby’s situation is more comfortable.)

Take this opportunity to let our congressional delegation know your
opposition to the Radio Performance Tax (H.B. 848). Thankfully
Congresswoman Shelly Moore Capito and Congressman Nick Rahall have
signed the House Resolution to oppose the tax. We still need
Congressman Mollohan to sign on the House side and both of the WV
Senators to sign Senate Resolution 14 on the Senate side.
