They don't have the F word on cable, only on the "premium" channels, like HBO or SHOWTIME. Extended cable are stations like TNT, BRAVO, AMC, etc. I think this is a bad move for ABC. It opens the door to further use of the word.

I've heard F on network TV. Sporting events.

Thanks for trying to explain but I still don't get it. I don't make any distinction between "cable" and "broadcast." It has been over 20 years since I fussed with a TV antenna. Nobody I know receives TV through an antenna except the portables that some lug on camping trips. Whether it is HBO or ABC that says the swear word, it's all the same to me.
