Canadian Rating Systems
• The TV rating systems
in
Canada are based on the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC) policy on violence
in
television programming.
• While violence
is
the most important content element to be rated, the structure developed takes into
consideration other program content like language, nudity, sexuality and mature themes.
• When setting the V-CHIP on the Canadian system you can choose either the Canadian English ratings or the
Canadian French ratings. .
