As long as they lift the ban within a reasonable time frame, fine.
They aren't even touching problems with the 1st amendment, as it
guarantees them the ability to play what they want to, when they want
to; it doesn't guarantee the listeners that the station will play
anything and everything. The part of radio censorship that touches
the 1st amendment is the part that fines people for saying things like
"f*@k" on the air. Which, I noticed this summer while listening to
MMM and JJJ over the internet (via Microsoft's network), you can do in
Australia.
