Ok smartboy larry. Try this on for size.

If there is no SOL as you claim, what if there was an objectionable
item aired from say 30 years ago? Let's say the same scene was aired
on "CHIPS". Could the FCC then fine the network for having aired the
scene today?

Of course. Do you mean could the FCC fine the network today for having
aired the scene *then*?

Not to mention fining any tv station that also airs the scene today?

BTW, do you recall the billboard which depicted a naked and pregnant
Dimi Moore? Why is that billboard legal and not this scene on tv?
The scene on tv did not meet the requirements for "exposure".

Was the billboard broadcast over the public airwaves?
