Do you think TV Guide ever said to NBC (or Turner or you name it): "We think your listings are too wordy and use too many attention grabbing words like "sex" so we won't carry your listings this month. This penalty will be in effect until we feel like lifting it and we won't even tell you precisely what our criteria is to carry your listings in the future."

That's EXACTLY my point here.
What if they provided listings like (i don't subscribe to tv guide, so it might not look accurate):

10:30pm CH 56 - <substitute repetitions of adult words>

I doubt tv guide would accept it :)

Or, what if they provided something like:
10:30pm CH 56 - Gardening tips with Joe Johnson (whatever)

and showed hard core p*rn instead on that channel at this time?

Ha? Does remind one of cloaking doesn't it?
