The FCC is cracking down on profanity on the air, especially at live sporting events. The commission has requested that broadcasters turn over tapes, in an attempt to find foul language coming from spectators, coaches, and players.

The commission instated tougher rules for live broadcast TV in 2004, shortly after Janet Jackson’s infamous “wardrobe malfunction” bared her breast for a few seconds at the Super Bowl halftime show. Some of these new rules included stricter restrictions on “profane and indecent” expletives, which may cause a problem for live sports broadcasts, which are often equipped with on-field microphones.

Live programming has always been difficult to control, so many fear that this mean the end of live broadcast TV. Now under a new law, broadcasters may face fines of as high as $325,000 per violation.
