Cable and satellite networks should be treated no differently from broadcasters. In today's media landscape, that is a distinction without a difference. We all need to be accountable for what is said in the presence of our kids.

We're willing to pay a reasonable amount to put this matter behind us. We want to go back to focusing on our business and not on ancient history.

We didn't agree that all the complaints were legally indecent, but some clearly crossed the line and for those we have taken full responsibility. No broadcaster has taken stronger steps to ensure its broadcasts comply with the law and we intend to keep it that way.

It was a tough negotiation, but a fair resolution,

We picked up everything we were supposed to.

There weren't any standard, readily available tests out there.
