The Commission has defined indecency as language or material that, in context, depicts or describes, in   [terms patently offensive as measured by contemporary community standards for the broadcast medium,  SX"-  sexual or excretory activities or organs. Infinity Broadcasting Corporation of Pennsylvania, 2 FCC Rcd  S0#-  =2705, 2705 (1987) (citing Pacifica Foundation, 56 FCC 2d 94, 98 (1975), aff'd sub nom. FCC v. Pacifica  S$-  \Foundation, 438 U.S. 726 (1978)). The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia   Circuit has upheld the Commission's authority to restrict the broadcast of indecent material at times when  S%-  there is a reasonable risk that children may be in the audience. Action for Children's Television v. FCC,   .852 F.2d 1332 (D.C. Cir. 1988). The court subsequently concluded that a 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. "safe   harbor" was justified as a properly tailored means of vindicating the government's compelling interest in  S@(-  /the welfare of children. Action for Children's Television v. FCC, 58 F.3d 654 (D.C. Cir. 1995), cert.  S)-denied, 116 S. Ct. 701 (1996). "),**``+"Ԍ  \We believe the subject excerpts are indecent in that they contain language that describes sexual and/or   [excretory activities or organs in patently offensive terms. Because the material aired at times when there   lwas a reasonable risk that children may have been in the audience, it is legally actionable. Thus, it   Lappears that on June 12 and 20, 1997, Station WXTB(FM) violated 18 U.S.C.  1464 by airing indecent programming.  S-  Accordingly, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, Citicasters Co.   is hereby advised of its apparent liability for a forfeiture of Four Thousand Dollars ($4,000), for its   apparent willful and repeated violations of 18 U.S.C.  1464 on June 12 and 20, 1997. The amount   specified was determined after consideration of the factors set forth in Section 503(b)(2) of the Act, including "the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation."   LIn regard to this forfeiture proceeding, you are afforded a period of thirty (30) days from the date of this   letter "to show, in writing, why a forfeiture penalty should not be imposed or should be reduced, or to pay   the forfeiture. Any showing as to why the forfeiture should not be imposed or should be reduced shall   include a detailed factual statement and such documentation and affidavits as may be pertinent." 47   C.F.R.  1.80(f)(3). Other relevant provisions of Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules are summarized in the attachment to this letter. FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION  S@-` `  Roy J.
