Overview
- The FCC completed an initial review of the Feb. 8 broadcast and found no actionable indecency, shelving further scrutiny unless new evidence emerges.
- Investigators determined broadcast versions of “Tití Me Preguntó,” “Monaco” and “Safaera” were edited to remove references to sex acts and genitalia.
- Because the performance was in Spanish, the agency obtained translations and reported that evidence of rule violations appeared thin once reviewed.
- Republican lawmakers including Reps. Randy Fine, Mark Alford and Andy Ogles had urged probes, calling the show vulgar and inappropriate for television.
- Nielsen data show the halftime averaged about 128.2 million U.S. viewers, and Expedia-reported flight searches to Puerto Rico rose 245 percent in the days after the show.
