TCM doesnt edit their films. They have F words and boobs.
IFC's the same way. They just don't quite reach the benchmark heights of TCM because they throw in a ton of commercials.

FMC (Fox Movie Channel) also runs unedited movies, which I prefer. Yes, AMC butchers their movies like Jason carves up nubile teen age girls, but it's mainly to slip in more commercials. Commercial breaks are like five minutes long

It has more to do with access. AMC is a first tier cable channel which means that nearly everyone receives it when they get cable. Channels which must be paid for, or are second tier, have more leeway with language. Premium channels: HBO, SHOWTIME, all other movie channels, are only available to those who pay for them and thus it's surmised that the people who watch them are tolerant of the language.
It's censorship for the good of children and Mrs Hayes, who are considered too unwise to change the channel. The rest of us have remote controls and Off buttons which we can exercise at our own discretion. Apparently Mrs Hayes cannot and prefers to complain rather than change the channel or turn off her television set, something I cannot and will never be able to comprehend. What's that about? -

Except they butcher their movies worse than TBS does now, and TBS used to be the worst when it came to censoring stuff, especially 80s movies.
People who complain about bad words getting through are just too lazy to use the parental controls or v-chip that is on every cable and satellite box and every TV built since 1995.

In the case of AMC it is about their audience.
As someone noted the n word is a plot point while the others would be considered gratuitous.
