TV (FCC) Content Category MPAA Rating System (Movies)
• TV (FCC) ratings: The particular rating that you have selected will be
locked (and indicated as a red “L” on a blue background). Also, all of the
age-based ratings will be locked within the particular group (i.e., “group 1”
or “group 2”).
Suppose that the TV-G rating and all of its contents (V, S, L, and D) are
locked. In that case, more restrictive ratings (TV-PG, TV-14, and TV-MA)
and all of their contents (V, S, L, and D) are automatically locked as well.
• MPAA ratings: The particular rating that you have selected will be locked.
In addition, more restrictive ratings will be locked as well.
• Neither TV (FCC) ratings nor MPAA ratings apply to news programs.
