The FCC hasn't given up on the long-running matter of Federal Communications Commission and U.S.A. vs. CBC Corp., and has asked the Supreme Court to uphold its $550,000 fine against CBS Corp. over the momentary -- less than one second -- exposure of Janet Jackson's breast during the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show. The Third Circuit Court of appeals threw out the forfeiture in November 2011, calling the FCC's ruling "arbitrary and capricious," and in January rejected a request that it rehear the case.
The Third Circuit rejected the FCC's argument that it hadn't changed its policy on "fleeting indecency" -- isolated, unscripted incidents -- with regard to images, though it did institute a tougher policy on fleeting expletives after notorious on-air remarks by Bono, Cher, and Nicole Richie on three separate awards shows. In any event, the court said, the Super Bowl incident took place before the FCC made the ruling that changed its policy.
In the new Supreme Court filing, Solicitor General Donald Verrelli denies that the FCC acted arbitrarily; the filing says FCC rules and policies "never included a 'fleeting nudity' exception to indecency liability" and continues, "The FCC's explanation of its own regulatory policy is well supported by the agency's prior guidance and decisions, as well as by the commonsense distinction between words and images."
The filing also asks the court, however, to hold back on considering the CBS case until the resolution of the Fox Television Stations case involving those fleeting expletives on awards shows.

Greater Media says Jenn Jackson has been named Affiliate Sales Director of Greater Media?s Bob & Sheri Network. Jackson joined WBT-AM/FM and WLNK-FM as an Account Manager in August of 2010. Prior to that, she spent ten years with the Clear Channel Radio cluster in Charlotte and seven months in sales at WFMX-FM in Statesville, NC.

To say I?m excited would be an understatement.?
To say that Katy Perry has been on a roll lately would be a grand understatement. But now, the star is nearing a feat only previously achieved by the King of Pop, Michael Jackson.
On the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, Perry's latest single from her "Teenage Dream" album, "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)," flies 31-4. As Gary Trust notes in today's Chart Beat column, if it hits No. 1 on the Hot 100, Perry will become just the second act -- and first woman -- to score five No. 1s from one album in the chart' 52-year history, as "California Gurls," the title cut, "Firework" and "E.T." all previously reigned.
Katy Perry's 'Friday' Flies Up Hot 100, Adele Still No. 1
Only Michael Jackson, with his 1987 set "Bad," has so far collected five Hot 100 No. 1s from one album release. "Bad" spawned the No. 1s "I Just Can't Stop Loving You," the title track, "The Way You Make Me Feel," "Man in the Mirror" and "Dirty Diana."

In other impressive and unprecedented Perry chart news, she was already the only artist with four 4-million-selling downloads, according to Nielsen SoundScan. As of this week, Perry pulls further ahead of the pack as the only artist with a whopping five.

"E.T.," which topped the Hot 100 for five weeks beginning April 9, surpasses the 4-million mark in download sales, according to SoundScan (4.06 million). Perry is now the only act to have five songs sell more than 4-million each. (Lady Gaga is next with three 4-million-sellers).
She previously hit the 4-million mark with "Hot N Cold" (4.91 million), "Firework" (4.53 million), "I Kissed a Girl" (4.07 million) and "California Gurls" (4.88 million).
More evidence of Perry's power? Adding to the pileup of her staggering sales and chart statistics, "E.T." became the top-selling download of 2011 as of the week ending May 1, when it overtook Cee Lo Green's "Forget You (F**k You)."
