Rajya Sabha
The Government has set up an Inter-ministerial Committee to look into the violations of the Programme Code and Advertising Code. This Committee, on receipt of complaints or suo-moto takes action against the TV channels which are violating the said Codes.
No analysis has been made by the Government about the impact on society of ‘Crime Reports’ telecast by several major TV channels. However, all programmes and advertisements of all TV channels transmitted/ retransmitted through the cable network are required to strictly adhere to the Programme Code and Advertising Code prescribed under the Cable Television Networks (Regulation) Act, 1995 and rules framed thereunder. Any violation of these Codes attracts action against them under the Cable Act.
This Information was given by Minister of Information & Broadcasting and Culture, Shri S. Jaipal Reddy in written reply to a question in Rajya Sabha today.
