> I’ve noticed that Vision TV edits out anything that might be considered “sacrilegious” in its scripted shows. Things like “Oh, God!” and “Damn!” are simply cut out.

I don’t know about “sacrilege edits”, but a few years back (when I was still using a TV with an OTA antenna, which I no longer do) my local “Christian” station WGGS aired a lot of old cheap shows with no edits and no disclaimers that are racist as hell by modern standards. _Terry and the Pirates_, for example.
