"CBS Fined $550,000 for Janet Jackson's Super Bowl Stunt
Largest Fine Ever Levied Against a Television Broadcaster
By JENNIFER C. KERR, AP
WASHINGTON (Sept. 22) -- Federal regulators on Wednesday fined CBS a record $550,000 for Janet Jackson's ''wardrobe malfunction,'' which exposed the singer's breast during this year's Super Bowl halftime show.
Justin Timberlake blamed a ''wardrobe malfunction,'' and CBS was quick to apologize.
The Federal Communications Commission voted unanimously to slap each of the 20 CBS-owned television stations with the maximum indecency penalty of $27,500. The total penalty of $550,000 is the largest fine levied against a television broadcaster. Most of the FCC's bigger fines have been against radio stations."
