 | | Under the Memorandum of Understanding first signed in 1995 and later revised in 1999, by the Chairman of the Broadcasting Authority, the then Secretary for Information, Technology and Broadcasting and the Director of Broadcasting, Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) voluntarily subjected itself to the regulation of the BA over matters concerning programme standards. |
 | | Regulation of programmes is focused mainly on standards of taste and decency, such as those concerning portrayals of violence, sex and nudity, use of language, protection of children, accuracy and impartiality in news, current affairs and factual programmes. |
 | | For advertisements, the focus is on truthfulness, legality, special restrictions or requirements imposed on different products and services, limits on total advertising time, and clear distinction between programme and advertising materials. |
