Broadcasting standards are guidelines and regulations that govern the content and quality of programs aired on television and radio. These standards ensure that broadcasts are appropriate for various audiences, promoting fairness, accuracy, and respect for diverse cultures. They help protect viewers from harmful or misleading content and ensure that broadcasters adhere to ethical practices. Regulatory bodies, such as the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the United States, enforce these standards. They monitor compliance and can impose penalties for violations. Broadcasting standards also address issues like advertising, children's programming, and public service announcements, ensuring that all content serves the public interest.
