Extend existing TV Parental Guidelines to broadcast news and sports shows.

Created by W.K. on January 25, 2013

With an increasing number of news and sports channels coming into our homes each day, it can be hard for parents to monitor what their children are watching. Many parents are concerned about their young children watching content that's more suitable for older children or adults.

The TV Parental Guidelines are a ratings system to give parents more information about the content and age-appropriateness of TV programs. However, sports and news shows do not currently carry the Guidelines.

I petition to have these Guidelines extended to include news and sports programs.
