UK government to regulate content of advertising and broadcasted content
In the UK the government has set up a body to regulate the content of advertising and broadcasted content. The restrictions have applied since the early days of TV and as a result only ITV, Channel 4 and 5 can show an average of 7 minutes of advertising per hour. As a result any of the programs from the US have to be edited to as the TV breaks were originally intended for US channels and US advertising breaks. The rules for advertising extend to which programs can or cannot have adverts – such as the news or current affairs program, documentaries and programs for children.
