•
TV (FCC) ratings : The particular rating that you have selected will be locked (and indicated as a red "L" on a blue
background). Also, all of the age-based ratings will be locked within the particular group (i.e., "group 1" or "group 2").
Suppose that the TV-G rating and all of its contents (V, S, L, and D) are locked. In that case, more restrictive ratings
(TV-PG, TV-14, and TV-MA) and all of their contents (V, S, L, and D) are automatically locked as well.
•
MPAA ratings : The particular rating that you have selected will be locked. In addition, more restrictive ratings will be
locked as well.
•
Neither TV (FCC) ratings nor MPAA ratings apply to news programs.
