US agency sought transcript of Bad Bunny Super Bowl halftime performance
The Federal Communications Commission found no indecency violations in Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show after reviewing transcripts and complaints from Republican lawmakers.
- 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.
