KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Popular Kansas City rock jock Johnny Dare has something in common with Howard Stern and Janet Jackson -- all three have been accused of indecency by the Federal Communications Commission.
The FCC proposed a $220,000 fine Wednesday for Pennsylvania-based Entercom Communications.
The proposed fine comes in response to four 2002 broadcasts on two Kansas radio stations: KQRC in Westwood and KFH in Wichita.They broadcast installments of the "Dare and Murphy Show" featuring "Naked Twister" with local strippers and graphic interviews with porn stars.The FCC said the material was indecent and clearly intended to "pander to and titillate the audience."Entercom officials were unable to comment on the proposed fine.KFH program manager Tony Duesing said his station has not aired the show for the past six months because it was too costly.Johnny Dare and Entercom would not comment to KMBC.
