WWII documentary's brief profanity puts stations in conflict

WWII documentary's brief profanity puts stations in conflict
PBS produced two versions of the Ken Burns documentary for affiliates, one with the cuss words, one without. The potential fines for airing the documentary uncensored between 6 and 10 could reach as high as $325,000. Some stations have come up with a good compromise. They will air the censored version between 6 and 10, but will then broadcast the uncensored version after 10.
