REMAND BACKERS SAY FCC IS INCONSISTENT
[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
CBS, Fox, and NBC told the New York State Court of Appeals Monday that the FCC's desire for a speedy hearing of CBS' challenge to the Janet Jackson fine in a Philadelphia federal appeals court doesn't square with its desire to remand its decision in another indecency case for more review. In a filing with the court, Fox, its TV stations, CBS and NBC Universal said that "the FCC's recent request for accelerated briefing in a separate indecency appeal [the Jackson fine] exposes the FCC's pending motion to remand this case for what it is: an effort at least to postpone, if not completely evade, judicial review of its Omnibus Order."
