In UK radio broadcasting is it forbidden to say the word cr*p?

Question

What about the word 'b*tch'? Kasabian's 'Shoot the runner' says it in the radio edit?

Answer 1

No, I've heard it many times

This is the policy of the bbc

"We must not include offensive language before the Watershed or on radio when children are particularly likely to be in our audience, or in online content likely to appeal to a high proportion of children, unless it is justified by the context and then its frequent use must be avoided.

We must be able to justify the use of offensive language in challenging factual programmes, comedy and drama broadcast throughout the day on our speech radio stations. It will also generally require clear content information.

We must not include the MOST offensive language before the Watershed, or on radio when children are particularly likely to be in our audience, or in online content likely to appeal to a high proportion of children.

We must make careful judgements about the use of the most offensive language post-Watershed and ensure it is clearly signposted."

So not forbidden, as long as it is in context and justified

   2. p**s

   3. F***

   4. C***

   5. **********

   6. Motherf***er

   7. T**s

As well as 3 "Not So Bad Words"

   2. t**d

   3. t**t

Answer 10

NO! Chris Moyles says it all the time on his breakfast show!
