Broadcasting Standards

Broadcasting standards refer to the established rules and guidelines that govern the content, quality, and conduct of television and radio broadcasts. They ensure that programs are safe, appropriate, and respectful, protecting audiences from harmful content and ensuring fair competition among broadcasters. Standards may cover areas like the portrayal of violence, language, advertising practices, and the representation of different communities. Regulatory bodies, such as the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the U.S., enforce these standards, helping maintain a responsible broadcasting environment that serves the public interest.
