Exempt: Includes news, sports, documentaries and
other information programming; talk shows, music
videos, and variety programming.
Children: Intended for younger children under the
age of eight years. Pays careful attention to themes
that could threaten their sense of security and well-
being.
Children over eight years old: Contains no portrayal
of violence as the preferred, acceptable, or only way
to resolve conflict; nor encourages children to imitate
dangerous acts which they may see on the screen.
General: Considered acceptable for all age groups.
Appropriate viewing for the entire family, contains
very little violence, physical, verbal or emotional.
Parental Guidance: Intended for a general audience,
but may not be suitable for younger children (under
the age of eight) because it could contain
controversial themes or issues.
Over 14 Years: Could contain themes where violence
is one of the dominant elements of the storyline, but
it must be integral to the development of plot or
character. Language usage could be profane and
nudity present within the context of the theme.
Adults: Intended for viewers 18 years and older and
might contain depictions of violence, which while
related to the development of plot, character or
themes, are intended for adult viewing. Could
contain graphic language and portrayals of sex and
nudity.
