How does Comedy Central get away with the uncensored movies?
Posted by admin
Every Saturday Comedy Central shows uncensored movies at 1 am, meaning there is no nudity but there IS a lot of swearing that goes uncensored, how do they get away with it?
Because the ban on certain words are covered only over public air ways, not cable television. Basically cable television is not available to everyone unless they subscribe to cable service. Since cable is not a right, but a paid service, channels on cable and satalite television can opperate with out the restrictions that public airwaves have.

Federal censorship laws only apply to broadcast TV, not cable or satellite, and only between 6 am and 10 pm.
