[ MTRCB MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. 93-016, August 02, 1993 ]

AIRING TIME OF TELEVISION PROGRAMS



Please be informed that at the July 27, 1993 Board Meeting of the MTRCB, new hours were set for the airing of General Patronage and Parental Guidance programs as follows:

General Patronage (GP) programs - from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Parental Guidance (PG) programs - from 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.

We have set back Parental Guidance programs by an hour as a concession to your primetime viewing hours. The Board, however, wants to strictly enforce the General Patronage rating during the 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. hours. Therefore, starting August 15, 1993, Parental Guidance programs to be aired at the wrong hours will be issued a permit good only for one month and non-renewable unless transferred to the correct time slot. Beginning November 1993, Parental Guidance programs at the wrong hours will no longer be given a permit.

May we reiterate that Adult (R-18) programs are not allowed on television.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Adopted: 2 Aug. 1993
