Halftime ’04: one frame, years of rules #MediaHistory #livetvmarathi - Video

During the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show on February 1, 2004 (CBS), an incident involving Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake resulted in brief exposure of Jackson’s breast on live television. The Federal Communications Commission pursued indecency fines against CBS-affiliated stations; litigation followed, and in 2011 a federal appeals court ultimately voided the fine. The incident popularized the term “wardrobe malfunction.” Networks and producers adjusted live broadcast delay practices, standards-and-practices reviews, and performer agreements in subsequent years. The event is cited in broadcast industry analyses of content regulation and live-event risk management. The game, played in Houston, concluded with the New England Patriots defeating the Carolina Panthers.
