I have the film on DVD, and think it is great. I would, however, not want it aired uncut on TV unless it was a pay channel.

But ABC has aired it at least twice already, uncut and with limited commercial interruption.

Not in dispute. But as they say "Past performance does not..."
I have no doubt that this is just to make a point, but this time I agree.

Right. Which shows you that this is a stunt. There is no serious probability that showing this film would bring a fine, but Mr. Cole wants to scare the public into thinking that there is. It's a tactical move to undermine support for the FCC. It's the equivalent of someone crying "police brutality" when there was none.
