The movie has been aired on ABC twice, in 2000 and 2001, unedited. Only one complaint was received regarding offensive, violent, content.

Steven Spielberg has put in the viewing rights, that only completely unedited versions may be aired so we'll see how the stations get around that. Seems these affiliates are very fearful of FCC sanctions following the "wardrobe malfuntion" during last year's Super Bowl. Fox was recently fined a huge sum for an episode of one of their reality shows which aired 1 1/2 yrs. ago, BEFORE the Super Bowl It's a shame, because this is considered to the best, most accurate and most meaningful treatment of WWII ever made. And during each commercial break, ABC has in the past, aired a warning regarding the graphic nature of the film, the violence and the language.
