G (General Audience) Programming considered acceptable for all ages groups. While not designed specifi-
cally for children, it is understood younger viewers may be part of the audience. Violence Guidelines: Will
contain very little violence, either physical or verbal or emotional. Will be sensitive to themes which could
frighten a younger child, will not depict realistic scenes of violence which minimize or gloss over the effects of
violent acts. Other Content Guidelines: There may be some inoffensive slang, no profanity and no nudity.
C8+ (Children 8 and older) Programming generally considered acceptable for children 8 years and over to
watch on their own. Violence Guidelines: Violence will not be portrayed as the preferred, acceptable, or only way
to resolve conflict or encourage children to imitate dangerous acts which they may see on television. Any realistic
depictions of violence will be infrequent, discreet, of low intensity and will show the consequences of the acts.
Other Content Guidelines: There will be no profanity, nudity or sexual content.
C (Children) Programming intended for children under age 8. Violence Guidelines: Careful attention is paid to
themes which could threaten children’s sense of security and well being. There will be no realistic scenes of
violence. Depictions of aggressive behavior will be infrequent and limited to portrayals that are clearly imaginary,
comedic or unrealistic in nature. Other Content Guidelines: There will be no offensive language, nudity or sexual
content.

violence that it does contain is either minimal or is presented in a humorous manner, as a caricature, or in an
unrealistic way.
