Stern Warning: A shock may be coming the way of a broadcasting company that employs shock-jock Howard Stern. The Federal Communications Commission is considering whether to fine Infinity Broadcasting Corp. $315,000 for airing a series of allegedly indecent shows by Stern on three of its stations last year, commissioner James Quello said Wednesday. The $315,000 fine would be the largest imposed on a broadcaster for violating the FCC’s indecency rules--three times larger than one slapped on local station KLSX-FM last month for a series of Stern programs. The proposed fine would be tripled because the company simulcast the programs on three stations: WXRK-FM in New York, WYSP-FM in Philadelphia and WJFK-FM in the Washington area.
