What regulations are there when it comes to censoring movies when they're aired on cable?

Asked by SheWasAll_ (2033points) December 30th, 2009

Tonight I was watching the USA network airing of Smokin Aces. I was surprised to see that words like “fag” and “nigga” were not bleeped but the typical “shit” and “asshole” and of course “fuck” WERE cut out, along with all nudity blurred. I felt this was a little odd, especially since the movie started at 10:30 and wasn’t a late, LATE night airing. So are there different (or no regulations) about words like that with the cable networks?
