169 Fox Stations Fined in Indecency Case
By STEPHEN LABATON

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12 - The Federal Communications Commission said on 
Tuesday that it would fine 169 Fox television stations $7,000 each, 
or a total of $1.18 million, for violating indecency rules when it 
showed a particularly graphic episode of the show "Married by 
America'' last spring.

The show, one of the reality' programs in Fox's lineup, features a 
group of single adults who agree to be engaged and marry, even though 
they had never previously met.

The commission found an April episode of the show violated the 
indecency rules through a series of sexually suggestive and explicit 
scenes.
