US agency sought transcript of Bad Bunny Super Bowl halftime performance
FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez found no indecency violations in the largely Spanish-language Super Bowl halftime show after reviewing transcripts following a Republican lawmaker's complaint.
- On Feb. 18, 2026, the FCC reviewed transcripts of Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime, with Gomez saying `I reviewed them carefully, and I found no violation of our rules and no justification for harassing broadcasters over a standard live performance.`
- Representative Randy Fine, Republican, urged fines and broadcast-license reviews after Bad Bunny's Super Bowl LX halftime performance on February 8, 2026 at Levi's Stadium.
- Transcripts were largely in Spanish, which FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez reviewed after the commission requested them, while The New York Post reported some graphic sexual lyrics were omitted.
- The FCC indicated it would not pursue further action unless new evidence emerges; Comcast, NBC and the FCC did not immediately comment, according to The New York Post.
- Amid political criticism, the episode raises questions about enforcing indecency rules across languages, as Gomez said `I reviewed them carefully, and I found no violation` after the transcript request prompted by Fine's allegations following the Feb. 8, 2026 performance.
