Banned shows????
HELLOLARRY:
The station here in Chicago used to ban the following:
YOU NAZTY SPY
I'LL NEVER HEIL AGAIN
THEY STOOGE TO CONGA
BACK FROM THE FRONT
HIGHER THAN A KITE
THE YOKES ON ME
NO DOUGH BOYS
UNCIVIL WARBIRDS
THREE MISSING LINKS
SOME MORE OF SAMOA
HEAVENLY DAZE
There were many other shorts (Id say approximately 20-30) where they cut scenes out (scissors on the nose, drinking gas etc.) It wasn't until the early 80s when we got cable that I first saw these all uncut on WTBS out of Atlanta. They did show BACK FROM THE FRONT for some time but eventually pulled it out of rotation too.

Actually it has always been "all about the money". Stations cannot throw anything they want to on the air, for the most part they pay a broadcasting fee, or as in the case of Starz and the Derita pictures they pay for an exclusive broadcast license which them the sole right to broadcast the movies. There are some instances where the owner of a program will pay a station for a block of time in which to broadcast their show (infomercials, for instance). There are also times when programming is provided to a station free of charge, such as Fox sending the Simpsons to its local affiliates.
Please capitalize when needed.
