CBS affiliates agonise over 9/11 documentary

CBS affiliates are agonising about hard-hitting Robert De Niro-hosted documentary 9/11, after CBS was slammed with a $550,000 (€427,800) fine in July over Janet Jackson's 2004 Super Bowl 'wardrobe malfunction'.

The US network were reprimanded by the Federal Complaints Commission for airing the blunder, and affiliates are keen to avoid the same fate over 9/11 - which may be replaced or delayed after TV bosses expressed concern over the use of bad language in the show.
