Canadian Rating Systems

sa6ldtv.book Page 37 Tuesday, February 21, 2006 12:35 PM

The TV rating systems in Canada are based on the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) policy on violence in television programming.

While violence is the most important content element to be rated, the structure developed takes into consideration other program content like language, nudity, sexuality, and mature themes.

When setting controls on the Canadian system you can choose either the Canadian English ratings or the Canadian French ratings.
