It doesn't seem like this would happen in the USA, but it did happen in Canada. The CRTC (Canadian Radio and Television Commission) decided that the French Television Broadcaster, Radio Canada, has gone too far in it satirical sketches of black people, and jokes about assassination of a black president.
It doesn't seem like this would happen in the USA, but it did happen in Canada, after the French CBC Television network received over 250 complaints over racist jokes that included President Barack Obama.

The comedy show, aired on New Year's Eve 2008 on the CBC's French-language network, drew 250 complaints to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission.
The satirical show included jokes about blacks and anglophones that offended viewers, including a comedian suggesting Barack Obama would be easy to assassinate because a black U.S. president would stand out against the White House.
It would be nice to see FOX news have to apologize for Beck and Hannity.
Sorry for the short diary, I just found this story interesting, and I wanted to get it out there.
Update: Scarce posted this story from when the episode aired.
