Court Rejects FCC Schedule For CBS Super Bowl Indecency Challenge

BROADCASTING AND CABLE MAGAZINE reports that the Third Circuit Court of Appeals has rejected the FCC's proposal to have the court expedite the CBS SUPER BOWL/JANET JACKSON indecency ruling challenge. The FCC proposed setting SEPTEMBER 11 as the date for opening briefs to be files, but the magazine says that a court document it has obtained shows a due date of SEPTEMBER 27 for the first briefs, which would set oral arguments for late NOVEMBER or DECEMBER rather than early NOVEMBER, as the FCC's timetable would have set.
