ABC appealed the FCC's proposed $1 million-plus NYPD Blue fine to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit -- the same court that said the FCC's fleeting profanity policy was arbitrary and capricious.

But first it paid $1,237,500 in fines for its two owned stations and the 43 other affiliates cited.
