NEW DELHI: Government is considering fixing specific timings for TV channels to beam adult content, Information and Broadcasting Minister P R Dasmunsi said on Tuesday.
In a reply to Lok Sabha, he said requests had been received on the matter for fixing specific timings for such programmes.
However, all matters relating to programmes or advertisement telecast on TV channels, including requests for "watershed" time for the telecast of adult content, have been referred to a committee set up for a review of Programme and Advertising Code under the Cable Television Network (Regulation) Act and guidelines for certification of films under the Cinematograph Act, he said.
The recommendations of the committee have not yet been received as meetings are continuing, the minister said.
In another reply, he said so far no separate code has been proposed to control the content of advertisements to avoid any adverse impact on the children.
