What are the requirements relating to viewer advisories?
A. The display of viewer advisories is one of the methods used to inform viewers about different aspects of the content of the program that is about to be broadcast or that is already underway. The function of the viewer advisories is to provide consumers with content information in order to assist them in making knowledgeable viewing choices, especially when programming includes mature subject matter or scenes with violence, nudity, sexually explicit material, coarse or offensive language, or other potentially offensive material. See Clause 5 of the CAB Violence Code and Clause 11 of the CAB Code of Ethics and their accompanying commentary sections as well as the FAQs dealing with violence, sexual content and coarse or offensive language.
