Powell to Resign
By admin on Jan 26, 2005 | In Rights | 1 feedback »

Powell found himself again at the center of controversy last year, when he drew the ire of broadcasting when the FCC began levying more fines for the airing of indecent material.
Viacom Inc.'s CBS was hit with a $550,000 fine for airing a Super Bowl halftime show during which pop singer Janet Jackson partially bared her breast. Then, in November, Viacom agreed to pay a record $3.5 million to settle several outstanding FCC enforcement actions against the conglomerate's TV and radio stations, including those who broadcast shock jock Howard Stern's show.
Stern, who features an altered photograph of Powell with devil's horns on his website, told listeners Friday that it was "a great day" for broadcasting.
"Thank God he's gone," he said. "But God help us with what's next."
