Well, Viacom may think twice from now on after they get a fine of US$27,500 times circa 220 affiliates and owned & operated stations. This is US$6,050,000, probably one of the biggest fines in history for violating FCC rules on obscenity.

They will think many times abvout how to pull a repeat.

Every newspaper I saw & every talk radio show covered this at length. They couldn't buy that kind of publicity for a billion.

I can't see that it's going to help them much. For one for them to go this far, it shows they're a little too desperate for publicity. Seeming very desperate for publicity can be as bad as having no publicity at all. I think this made everyone involved just look pathetic.
