On that and five other episodes of puff daddy his show, the FCC announced January 27, Bubba (a.k.a. Todd Clem) committed 26 "apparent indecency puff daddy violations." To punish the four Clear Channel stations that aired the show, the agency proposed the highest possible fine for each incident—that's $27,500 apiece—plus another $40,000 for not maintaining proper records. The total would be the puff daddy largest fine in the commission's history. The only commissioner to dissent was Democrat Michael Copps, and that was because he thought the penalty wasn't harsh enough. After all, he argued, "the Commission could have proposed a fine for each separate 'utterance' that was indecent, rather than one fine for each lengthy segment." (The FCC is, in fact, still mulling whether to do this.) Better yet, it could have revoked the stations' licenses altogether.
