  My understanding is that he has a 7 second delay and didn't use it to bleep the word and that was the issue.
I suspect that Clear Channel was making a business decision not because of FCC fines, but because of the potential back lash for not taking action for not bleeping a racial slur.  I think many people, not just blacks, are offended by racial slurs.
