The V-Chip: Options to Restrict What Your Children Watch on TV
www.fcc.gov
The V-chip allows parents or other caregivers to block programming on their TVs that
they don't want children to watch. Most programs are assigned a rating based on parental
guidelines established by the TV industry. The ratings provide information about the
content and age-appropriateness of most TV programs, except news, sports and unedited
movies on premium cable channels.
Parents can program the V-chip to block programs based on these ratings, which include
two elements: an age-based rating that provides guidance about the age group for which
a program is appropriate, and content descriptors indicating that a program may contain
