        I've noticed the same thing  about  the  independent  stations
        here  in Orlando too.  I've seem topless scenes in movies, for
        instance.  The local PBS station  station  also  seems  to  be
        pretty  lax  about nudity, esp. if it a British produced show.
        The network stations don't seem to have changed much, but they
        may  have  standards  they  have  to observe to maintain their
        network affiliation.  I also remember that the  local  station
        that  ran  The Deer Hunter made a big point in their ads about
        it being uncut, but I didn't get around to watching it.
