 Sporting News ads
From Jan 20,2006
Friday, U.S. Attorney General Catherine Hanaway announced the settlement terms, which includes that Sporting News voluntarily initiate and complete a three-year public serve advertising campaign on the illegality of commercial Internet and telephonic gambling. Sporting News will spend $1 million for the public service campaign, for a total of $3 million over three years.
Sporting News paid $4.2 million of the $7.2 million settlement late Thursday, according to a release.
The settlement agreement resolves claims arising from Sporting News' conduct between spring 2000 and December 2003. The company advertised illegal Internet and telephonic gambling enterprises to its U.S. print, Internet and radio media audiences. |
