IN BRIEF / TELEVISION

June 01, 2006|From Bloomberg News

The Federal Communications Commission denied CBS Corp.'s request for another review of a $550,000 fine imposed for the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show in which singer Janet Jackson's breast was exposed.

The agency, headed by Chairman Kevin Martin, said it rejected CBS' claim that the show wasn't indecent. The FCC found CBS' violation was willful, and dismissed CBS' claim that the indecency rules were vague.

"We will continue to pursue all remedies necessary to affirm our legal rights," CBS said.
