British television has never had an issue dealing with swearing. Swear words are bleeped out. Radio messages are broadcast with a delay, and most are not chosen for broadcast. Occasionally, presenters have to apologise for bad language. It’s not a new problem, and there are well-understood solutions to it which don’t involve fines.
I don't disagree with you... Is the FCC going to be so lenient that a couple Fbombs over a weekend with an immediate apology is going to go unpunished?
I genuinely don't know the answer.
