unbroadcastable
Too inappropriate, television
Unbroadcastable describes content unsuitable for transmission over radio or television—typically because it contains profanity, explicit material, or legally problematic content.
The interview was unbroadcastable without heavy editing.
The term often appears in discussions of live events where someone says something that can't be aired: His postgame rant was completely unbroadcastable.
