The stations might do that, I notice many of those PG-13 and R shows leave foul
language alone during the movie broadxast.

In the 1950's I visted a AM Radio Station and noticed a Bug (Ham Radio
Telegraph Key) n the right side of the Disk Jockeys desk.
I asked the man why it was n the desk by the microphone.
He said it was used to mute the audio if someone calling in cursed durning the
interview show.
All conversations  were recorded on tape and a seperate head was used to delay
sending the audio to the transmitter.
The D.J. pressed the Key if the person who called the radio station cursed,
which kept that from being heard by the people who tuned in to listen to that
radio show.
I thought that was a neat idea so the station wouldn't be getting a Citation
from the F.C.C. because of the caller saying something offensive to listeners.
