People always say kids are expensive

When Univision began broadcasting a show three years ago about the misadventures of 11-year-old identical twin girls who swapped identities after discovering they had been separated at birth, it characterized the episodes as educational programming for children. That decision is expected to cost Univision, the nation’s largest Hispanic network, $24 million in what would be the largest fine the Federal Communications Commission has ever imposed against any company. The penalty is also expected to send a strong signal to broadcasters that they will be expected to meet their required quota of shows that educate and inform children, after years of permissive oversight in this area. You can't forget the kids man, you just can't forget the kids. The fine should make Les Moonves feel better about the$500,000 fine his company has been trying to get out of for the Janet Jackson nipple slip Record Fine Expected for Univision [NYT]
