Should adult-only TV shows easily accessible to children?

Megan Leov Reporter from Marlborough Express

Is it time to change the restrictions around when certain programmes (including adults only) can be broadcast on free-to-air TV?

Parents and caregivers have until August 31 to have their say about the timebands, parental locks and classifications labels that help to protect what their children watch on free-to-air television.

Hundreds of people have already given their feedback about whether there should still be restrictions around when certain programmes, including Adults Only, can be broadcast on free-to-air television.

Options being considered include removing all of the timeband restrictions, altering them, or keeping them the same.

The Broadcasting Standards Authority (BSA) is also considering whether free-to-air television should adopt the same classification labels as pay television to provide consistency. It would mean switching from G (General), PGR (Parental Guidance Recommended) and AO (Adults Only) to G, PG, M (Mature), 16 and 18.

Find out more by visiting bsa.govt.nz.
Feedback can be given via a short online survey, by emailing info@bsa.govt.nz or by writing to Broadcasting Standards Authority, PO Box 9213, Wellington 6141.
