No, it's not unconstitutional.  Most of our laws have some sort of "unfairness" built into them.  While you have freedom of speech, it doesn't mean you have freedom from being punished for what you say.  The classic shouting "fire" example is a perfect case.  While you are free to say it, you will be punished for saying it.  The same holds true with public television, where you are not allowed to swear.  In this case, if you swear within this town-limit, you face getting a ticket.
