Broadcast delay
While live censorship of audio was an issue for decades, video-censoring became an issue following the highly-publicized incident involving Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake during the live broadcast of Super Bowl XXXVIII, in which Jackson's bare breast was revealed.
In an effort to avoid a repeat, CBS decided to use tape-delay for the 2004 Grammy Awards. In February 2004, ABC announced it would impose a video and audio delay on the 2004 Academy Awards (Oscars), to safeguard viewers from any obscenities. The 2006 Academy Awards also implemented a tape delay, and the live performance of "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp" was edited near the beginning of the song.
