Films
The film industry in the UK is regulated by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC). The BBFC is responsible for classifying films that have a cinema and DVD release.
The BBFC uses published Classification Guidelines for certain age ranges, ensuring that the content of the film is age appropriate and that children or young people do not see films that are unsuitable for them.
Television
TV organisations are regulated to ensure they meet their own codes of practice and also those enforced by government guidelines.
Ofcom is the UK regulator of the television and radio sectors. Ofcom's duty is to examine complaints by viewers or listeners of channels it has licensed to broadcast to establish if the broadcasting code has been breached. Ofcom also ensure:
- A wide range of different TV shows are available
- Audiences are protected against harmful or offensive material
- Participants in television shows are protected from unfairness and loss of privacy
Radio
Official websites may contain additional content; when a pop star is interviewed on Radio 1 there may be exclusive excerpts which are only available online.
This is called convergence.
