Uncut movies on USA


Where on earth does a broadcast cable station get the idea that the movies they air are uncut? Unless they're the Pirates of the Carribean movies (or anything by Disney), my definition of uncut and their definition of uncut must be different.

Their meaning of uncut is based on timing and content. Instead of cutting a movie down to under 2 hours to fit a specific time schedule, they fit the schedule around the movie to air it with all of the original content. I assume USA doesn't cut anything out at all, but since I do not normally watch movies on USA , I don't know if content is altered to bleep a word out or to blur an image without affecting the original editor's final cut and runtime. What is your definition of uncut?

Pretty much the same as uncensored-- without bleeps or blurred images.
