Infinity Response To Opie & Anthony Stunt Going Public

From Radio and Records:
Portions of the company's Oct. 11, 2002 response to a FCC demand for detailed information about how the former WNEW/New York afternoon duo's infamous "Sex for Sam" promotion received management approval will now be given a public view, as the five commissioners granted in part a journalist's Freedom of Information Act request to view the reply. Infinity also provided the names of those involved in the promotion in its note to the commission, and provided copies of all documents related to the planning of the contest. Infinity sought confidential treatment of all personal information — including nonpublic e-mail addresses and phone numbers and copies of driver's licenses — along with corporate information that Infinity argued could harm its competitive position. While the commissioners agreed that certain information should be omitted, they ultimately ruled that as long as sensitive information was redacted, the documents could be released. Infinity now has 10 days to either release the documents or take the issue to court. A company spokesman declined to comment pending a review of the order by Infinity attorneys.
