Rating Description

EExempt: Includes news, sports, documentaries and other information programming; talk shows, music videos, and variety programming.

CChildren: 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.

C8+ 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.

GGeneral: Considered acceptable for all age groups. Appropriate viewing for the entire family, contains very little violence, physical, verbal or emotional.

Age-Base

PG 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.

14+ 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.

18+ 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.
