You where not I. The issue was free speech, and the 1st amendment. Not specifically TV broadcasts.

Even with such broadcasts the restrictions are almost all restrictions on what can be broadcast under a broadcast license. The radio spectrum is not unlimited, and controling parts of it where considered similar to controlling a local venue, saying "we won't allow this type of expression in this theater, or in this office, rather than anywhere."

One can certainly disagree with such a view and/or the reasoning behind it, but restrictions on broadcast TV are not general censorship of what people can say and express.
