BCI urge broadcasters to minimise offence to audiences
The Broadcasting Commission of Ireland yesterday launched the draft Code of Programme Standards for programme makers nationwide. It gives guidance on children’s and factual programming, violent material, sexual conduct, coarse language, portrayal of groups in society and portrayal of drugs, alcohol and solvent abuse.
However, the taste and decency broadcasts code — due out early next year — won’t apply to Sky and ITV programmes beamed here.
