Contact the TV Parental Guidelines Monitoring Board, which is comprised of television industry experts and community advocates, which reviews programs before broadcast and rates the content using the seven category rating system devised by the television broadcasters. You can get more information on the rating system, and ask questions about the system or broadcast content by writing to the Monitoring Board.
Check your local newspaper television listings, many of which publish not only the time and subject of local programming, but also the rating that each program has received. In addition, check the top of your TV screen at the beginning of each broadcast and note the rating that the program has received. The rating label is usually displayed at the start of each show, and each time the program returns from a commercial break.
Contact the TV Parental Guidelines Monitoring Board to get more information on how V-Chip technology can be better used to ensure that younger viewers are seeing only programming that you approve of. They will provide more information on how you can use the V-Chip to filter programming content.
