For the US...
There are specific rules regarding broadcast TV.
Cable/Satellite are not bound by these same rules- HOWEVER...
Everything is run by money, of course, and people who buy advertising space won't by time on a show that has nudity because the viewership will be very low. Same goes for the language. Language makes ad-buyers pull their ads. That's why on occasion you see cursing like on South Park. Showtime, HBO, etc. are completely different because they don't have regular advertising. They are paid by the people who pay money to have the specific channel(s). They still have people to repond to, however, which is why you will usually see movies with minimal nudity, and barely anything harder during the day when kids are maybe up, but at nighttime they don't worry about such things and the flesh-fest can begin!
