That’s not for cable only broadcast stations get regulated by the fcc for cussing lmao fcc only regulates cable on billing and stuff like that
Then IDK who it is but somebody regulates it. Like for instance Breaking Bad could only use certain curse words a certain amount of times throughout a season.

Not for cable since we pay for it, ie American tax money isn’t paying for the existence of the channel. Cable only adheres to FCC standards for advertising money.

Nobody is regulating it, it’s just advertisers aren’t going to put top dollar ads on shows that have too much cursing. But nobody is going to stop them from actually cursing. TV stations will self regulate because they need that ad revenue.

which is why I NEVER understood why all the basic cable channels continue to censor their programming.

only hear cursing on a few basic networks like fx with sunny in philadelphia and A&E with the walking dead, which started doing it in the early 2010's.
