Actually, safe harbor doesn't apply to cable, nor does the FCC. It's not public airwaves, cable stations are technically allowed to do whatever the hell they please. They don't mainly because of fear for advertiser pressure (which is why HBO and other premium networks have no such problems).
Comedy Central has played a few other movies on the time spot. Though none of it was really worth while from what I've seen aside from Richard Pryor Live in Concert and Chris Rock Bigger and Blacker the past two weeks.
Like Archaix said, as a cable channel, Comedy Central doesn't have to follow any standards but those set by the people who give it money... and they can be negotiated with.
TV ratings also allow them to say "hey, we said it was TV-M!"
I wish CC would do more of these things. I watch this movie every time I see that it's on. I'd watch others too...btw Hito, you were right about mustard-q, I haven't tried it but I've heard good things about it.
South Park has been their bread and butter in their "Secret Stash" for over a year. They have been playing some comedy routines lately and Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back.
