Mel Gibson's controversial Passion of the Christ could air on terrestrial TV in America, on the FOX network.

The Hollywood Reporter indicates that ABC, CBS and NBC are not interested in screening the flick, probably due to very specific requests by the film's production company that the movie air unedited and commercial free.

The film was rated R for violence, which could require some violent scenes to be cut from the movie in order for it to air on US broadcast networks.
