A 2-1 decision by the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York found the FCC's 2006 ruling that isolated expletives, including the F-word, violated indecency standards to be arbitrary and capricious. The cases cited include ABCs NYPD Blue episodes, CBS The Early Show, and Fox Billboard Music Awards broadcasts from 2002 to 2004.
