skirt around the new puritanism of the airwaves that the FCC seems determined to impose on broadcasters? Nigel Walley
of NewMediaZero talks specifically about the situation as it relates to television advertising in the UK,
which in some cases is even more restrictive than here (though in many ways not), but the point is that programmers
could relatively easily deliver the “too hot for TV” parts of the show over broadband, and insert them into shows at
the appropriate times (like get Jerry Springer without all the bleeping and blurring). They could even charge an
extra subscription fee for viewers who really want to see the salacious stuff.
