TV (FCC) Guidelines:
Suppose, for example, the TV-PG rating and all of its V, S, L and D sub-categories are locked. In that case, all of the “more restrictive” ratings (TV-14 and TV-MA) and all of their V, S, L and D sub-categories are automatically locked out as well. The two groups (TV-Y/TV-Y7 and TV-G/TV-PG/TV-14/TV-MA) are controlled independently.
