Why does Satellite Radio blank out the word 'Coke' in Notorious Thugs by Biggy Smalls? And other songs...

Question

I thought the FCC couldn't touch them. So why would XM radio ALL B.I.G. stop certain words from being sung?

They also don't say any curse words on this station? is it because im using the Free AOL version. Does anyone actually have XM and or have a reason why they can't curse...

Answer 1

they have they own set of rules that they broadcast under and the word coke in that song they deem as unfit to air

Answer 2

Satellite radio is still licensed by the FCC, hence the 'merger' has not been approved as of yet.

XM chooses to play does play radio edits, or censored versions of songs, on the more popular channels unless they are on a station, as a previous posted noted, coded for adult language (profanity).

Answer 3

I believe it's the AOL connection and the lack of parental conttrols that regular subscribers have that are not available through the AOL portal.
