Not So Fine: The Federal Communications Commission is planning to slap San Diego’s KGB-FM with a $25,000 fine, its largest single penalty ever for indecent programming, for airing two parody songs deemed sexually explicit. The FCC, responding to a single complainant, notified KGB that it is “apparently liable for a forfeiture of $25,000” for playing “The Candy Wrapper Song” once and “Sit on My Face” on two different occasions in the spring of 1990. KGB, which has 30 days to appeal, said in a response that airing both songs was a mistake and against station policy.
