Clear Channel and FCC troubles

The Federal Communications Commission issued a Notice of Apparent Liability (a precursor to a fine) of $755,000. against four stations owned by Clear Channel Communications on January 27, 2004 for complaints made over broadcasts. Representing the maximum fine that they could impose -- $27,500 for each of the 26 airings -- FCC records indicate the programing was "designed to pander to, titillate and shock listeners." The company was also fined another $40,000 for record-keeping violations. This is the single largest fine ever imposed by the FCC to any entertainment medium.

Although violations took place in 2001, Bubba the Love Sponge Clem (Todd Clem) did not have his contract with Clear Channel or his nationally syndicated program canceled until February 24, 2004.

The good news is that no animal cruelty charges appear to be filed against him, since that date. The bad news:

In April of 2006, Bubba shaved a man's genitals and sprayed them with carburetor cleaner. Most carburetor cleaners contain xylene, methanol and various other chemicals which cause massive skin inflammation, even on the hands.

here's current footage of this individual:

perhaps ClearChannel was right to air his program all across America: Funny isn't he?
