Infinity is owned by Viacom Inc., which also owns CBS, and Stern said that former Viacom president Mel Karmazin once told him that Viacom had to pay indecency fines caused by Stern before the FCC would renew its radio and television licenses.
"That is flatly false," Powell said. "That's a lie."
Infinity paid the FCC $1.7 million in 1995 to settle fines incurred by Stern's show, and Clear Channel Communications recently paid $1.75 million to settle a number of fines, some caused by Stern.
