PTC (Parents Television Council)

The Parents Television Council (PTC) is a nonprofit organization that monitors and evaluates television content to promote family-friendly programming. It advocates for increased accountability among broadcasters, often emphasizing the need to reduce explicit or inappropriate material on TV. The PTC provides ratings, reviews, and alerts to help parents make informed choices about what their children watch. While it supports content standards aligned with family values, critics sometimes view it as being overly intrusive or conservative. Overall, the PTC aims to foster a television environment that respects community standards and safeguards young viewers.
