Availability of the v-chip

Reference no: EM13803710

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has made it mandatory for all televisions 13 inches or larger produced after January 1, 2000, to have a V-Chip installed. The V-Chip is a device that allows parents to block programs that they do not want their children to watch. All TV programs, excluding news, sports, and unedited movies on premium cable channels, are given ratings to indicate how appropriate the program is for children to view. Go to the FCC website (www.fcc.gov) for more information.

Write 200 words to describe the influence of the V-Chip on television programming and the television industry.

Given the ratings and the availability of the V-Chip, how should networks respond if people complain about program content?

How effective can the V-Chip be at protecting children from viewing inappropriate programming? Should the V-Chip or a similar device be used in conjunction with other electronics, such as a CD or DVD player, video game console, or radio? Why?

How could the V-Chip be used with a live broadcast? Are there other methods or types of technology that can supplement or replace the V-Chip in this scenario?

Format your responses consistent with APA guidelines.
