	How TV Affects Your Child
		That's why it's so important for you to monitor the content of TV programming and set viewing limits to ensure that your child doesn't spend time watching TV that should be spent on other activities, such as playing with friends, exercising, and reading.
		TV is chock full of programs and commercials that often depict risky behaviors such as sex and substance abuse as cool, fun, and exciting.
		Treat TV as a privilege that your child needs to earn - not a right to which he or she is entitled.

		For instance, some parents might feel that their children are mature enough to watch programs with sexual suggestiveness, but do not like exposing them to simulated violence or mayhem.
		When the TV industry agreed this past summer to modify the ratings system and add the content letter, Congress agreed to declare a moratorium on any new legislation for three years.
		Parents will then be able to set the V-chip to look for all shows with a certain rating -- say, a TV-14, V, S, D rating -- and then block all shows with that rating from playing on the TV set.

		Parents, educators, and many others are concerned about the quality of programs--especially the amount of violence--children are seeing on television, and they have brought increasing pressure on the television industry to curb program content.
		Parental monitoring is a key factor, since the research studies show that increasing guidance from parents is at least as important as simply reducing media violence.
		The decision to watch TV is influenced by several factors, including the lack of any preferred or required alternative activity; fondness for particular programs or characters; habit; and mood.

	TV Parental Guidelines at Keep Kids Healthy
		The TV Parental Guidelines are a rating system that is designed to help parents decide which television shows are appropriate for their children.
		It is important to remember that the TV Parental Guidelines and/or the use of a V-Chip does not substitute for your responsibility to guard your children from the influence of inappropriate television shows.
		Watch television with your children, and discuss what is happening during the show, discuss alternative and more acceptable things that characters could have done for inappropriate behaviors and actions, and teach your children to be critical of the messages that the media sends through their programming.

	Tv Parental Control Faq - This Is Cable (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		While the cable industry believes that parents are best suited to make content decisions about the appropriateness of TV programs for their household, the industry takes on the responsibility to provide customers with tools and resources to be informed about TV content and then block unwanted programs deemed inappropriate for their family.
		To help parents better understand whether the content of a specific program is appropriate for children, two major improvements to the TV ratings system have been introduced.
		The size of the ratings icon that is displayed on the TV screen at the beginning of rated shows is being enlarged, and cable networks will begin inserting a TV ratings icon on the screen after each commercial break to remind viewers of a program’s rating throughout the duration of the program.

	Protecting Children from Harmful Television: TV Ratings and the V-chip
		This makes sense, for parents certainly know their children the best of anyone, and they may be differentially concerned with different kind of television content depending on the particular child in question (Cantor, Stutman, and Duran, 1996).
		This parent, then, would not want to rely on the industry's age-based recommendations and would probably prefer to know what kind of material is in a certain program and then decide whether it was appropriate for his or her child.
		Hence, the analyses of the movies seemed to accurately predict the uninformativeness of the TV Parental Guidelines regarding their ability to communicate the kind of content that is associated with various ratings.

	Opinion
		The guidelines are ultimately to be used with a so-called V-Chip, an electronic device to be inserted in TV sets that, with a special remote controller, allows parents to block out programs they don't want their children to see.
		The Parental Guidelines are a combination of "content," that is, whether a program contains sex or violence or language, and "Age Categories," which makes it easier for parents to use a V-Chip with efficiency.
		Over the next year, parents will be polled, because parents will be the arbiters of the worth of TV Parental Guidelines.

		The Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the "1996 Act") mandated that the Commission establish guidelines and procedures for providing video programming ratings to parents, unless the distributors of video programming otherwise established and implemented a voluntary ratings system which the Commission found to be acceptable.
		The TV Parental Guidelines apply to all television programming except for news, sports, and unedited MPAA rated movies on premium cable channels (the MPAA ratings have been retained, and will be able to be broadcast and received by the "v-chip", and used by parents for blocking, as discussed below).
		Under the guidelines, ratings are assigned to television programs by broadcast and cable networks and producers, although television stations retain the right to substitute the ratings that they deem appropriate for their audience.
