How 'G' Is Your TV Stream? Broadcast Web Shows To Feature Content Ratings
New York Times, Monday, June 11, 2012 3:28 PM
Online streaming of TV shows from the four major networks plus Spanish-language broadcasters Telemundo and Univision will feature content ratings from the TV Parental Guidelines Monitoring Board
similar to the movie industry's ratings system.
"The ratings will be included in all episodic streams on Web sites like ABC.com and Fox.com by December," writes Brian Stelter.
(Speaking of those warnings, the notice before last night's "Mad Men" that there would be "nudity" -- we believe it
said "partial nudity" -- was an advance notice of a surprising non-love scene, one that was either a disappointment or an ogle-fest, depending on how one felt about seeing Roger Sterling's naked
backside.)
