That is a complex question and there are multiple answers. In general, television programming is a business and what draws in higher viewership and advertising revenue will be shown on TV. Generally, “low brow” programming that appeals to the largest number of people and viewers is favored by networks. Programming targeted at specific interests may not draw enough viewers to be financially viable and so they may not be shown. In addition, some content may be considered “too political”, controversial, or explicit and is censored or edited out for TV. Other programming could potentially be too costly in licensing rights or other fees, so television networks will often choose to not air that programming. Ultimately, these decisions rely on the discretion of television networks.
