Movie Rating

This system defines the rating levels of movies shown in theaters and on prime cable
channels.

TV Rating

The TV rating is divided into two groups: age-based and content-based.
✍The content ratings will increase depending on the level of the age-based rating. For example, a
program with a TV-PG V (Violence) rating may contain moderate violence, while a TV-14 V (Violence)
rating may contain intense violence.
