CGRO observations of high energy γ-rays from active galactic nuclei (AGN) suggest that beaming may be prevalent in these sources. Anisotropic effects in AGN continuum spectra produced by the inverse Compton scattering mechanism are outlined, in particular the resulting spectral breaks and modification of spectral indices that depend strongly on the electron anisotropy and the observational viewing perspective.
