A little more than a year after taking over the co-host position on NBC’s Today vacated by Meredith Vieira, apparently Ann Curry will be replaced though she is currently in negotiations to remain with the network in some capacity. Speculation on Curry’s departure from the morning show was first reported in The New York Times. This news is not official from NBC nor has a replacement for Curry on Today been named though reportedly Savannah Guthrie, who presently is Today’s news anchor and co-host of the 9a third hour of Today is being considered.

Yesterday, the Supreme Court, in a unanimous decision, threw out the FCC sanctions against ABC and FOX, the networks involved in fleeting profanity and nudity cases. The Supreme Court said the FCC did not provide fair notice to broadcasters that they were taking a firmer stance with their indecency enforcement policy. The high court also did not offer more clarity if such cases violate the First Amendment’s free-speech protections. This decision leaves the FCC’s indecency enforcement policy in limbo where they are currently dealing with more than a million indecency complaints that have been filed since the litigation started.
