I heard Rob say the "N" word last night and it wasn't blanked out to my suprise. I wasn't sure if Anderson just missed it or if it's allowed. In that case, would they have gotten a fine?

N word is allowed, always has been. Haven't you ever heard them play Drew's Crank Yanker bit, or the clips thereof? "Nigger" appears all the time. Which is funny because I think more people find that offensive than just about any other potentially offensive word.

And just because I feel like it

Exactly, although it is usually blanked, in radio if not loveline in general, when it is not used in a educational context. Most television abides by this standard as well. Obviously, as Laith pointed out, loveline has exceptions.

Nigger is not considered indecent speech, so therefore anyone can say it on the radio at any time. The restraint it not a legal matter, but simply the choice of the broadcaster.
