The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled in favor of television networks in their fight against the Federal Communications Commission’s regulation of broadcast profanity and nudity, Deadline reports.
With an 8-0 vote, the court found the FCC’s policies too vague to be applied to the specific incidents in question, which included a 2003 NYPD Blue episode on ABC that featured a naked woman’s buttocks as well as Fox’s telecasts of the 2002 and 2003 Billboard Music Awards, during which presenters Cher and Nicole Richie used profanity.
