The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has proposed a fine of $147,000 against ESPN for violating Emergency Alert System (EAS) rules.

The FCC stated that ESPN 'apparently willfully and repeatedly' misused the emergency alert tones in six airings of the promo. The proposed fine represents the maximum penalty. ESPN has the option to appeal the proposed fine. Tickers of interest: $DIS.
