The television content ratings system was devised by a group of leading industry representatives, including members from the National Association of Broadcasters, the National Cable Television Association and the MPAA. The original age-based ratings are similar to the movie ratings system because broadcasters felt it would be helpful for parents to have a system similar to MPAA’s movie ratings system — something parents already understood. Valenti, the MPAA’s president and CEO, has been the leader in the creation of the TV ratings system and has been its most public spokesman and advocate. Back in 1968, Valenti was the driving force in the creation of the movie ratings system still in use today.
