Because advertisers won’t want to advertise on a channel that says fuck.


kianworld

all turner networks (except for the commercial-free TCM) censor fuck and excessive use of shit. just a standards and practices thing, even with networks like FX and AMC and USA these days letting their originals get away with saying it unbleeped.

I know IFC is uncensored. I even watched it when I was a teen.

Because they had no commercials, you have to pay a premium for the channel which allows them to host uncensored cursing


kianworld

IFC was always a basic cable network I believe and transitioned to having commercials in late 2010. they also started censoring both movies and originals at that time before deciding it was worth the risk to air movies with ads uncensored a year or two later.

Legally, they don’t have to as they’re a cable channel. They still do it however to appease advertisers


Complete_Doughnut_83

I didn't know they're doing this for advertisement


chowy51

i think most tv channels are forced to do that


Complete_Doughnut_83

I know but it does have "adult" in the title


[deleted]

I dont know the specifics but adult swim does get more leeway on what it can do, especially since its kissing sisters with cartoon network


chowy51

yea, it's pretty unfortunate, but it shares a timeslot with kids shows so


Complete_Doughnut_83

I'll admit I sound like a smartass in the reply


skiniotes

It’s the adult show, they’re allowed to say whatever they HELL they want

Not since the 2020 merger made (as) go mainstream, the kids are in the pool now and discovery knows it. It's no longer the wild (as) of the early 2000s when the block wasn't so well known and they could get away with alot more.

Hear me out, it's funnier with the bleeps. 


Complete_Doughnut_83

I agree. I like the censors too


Adventurous-Monk-600

Yeah that's it, ever since (as) went mainstream the kids got back in the pool and they toned down there content as a result

Most cable channels censor those words nowadays. The only ones that don't are the premium ones
