Do they still allow cussing (at least in English, don't know about
in Spanish) on Mexican stations? (I recall XETRA-FM getting away with
a few f-bombs in the 80's....)

Is it considered cussing if the words don't exist in the country's
official language?

Under Noble, that would have been forbidden because we followed both
country's regulations. Things happen. Wardrobes malfunction. I suspect
most stations have had various slips of the tongue the delay didn't
catch.

At WOR we had a food fair called "The Taste of New York" held at
Lincoln Center. We decided to do the Joan Rivers Show live. Various
restaurants set up booths with samples and it cost $10 to get in. Joan
began the show with a comment about how great it was to get free food.
A woman in the audience piped up and said they paid for it. Joan's
response: "You paid $10 to eat this sh*t?" It was so close to the open
of the show the delay hadn't built up and it went on both WOR and the
network.

Joan had a chat with management the next day. Fortunately there were
so many people there making so much noise, the vendors never heard it.
The food was terrific.
