Tillman, Gergory. "About TV ratings and the V Chip." 5/5/05 4/28/05 <www.tvguidlines.org>
TV guidlines are designed to be simple to use, easy to understand and handy to find. The Guidelines apply to all television programs, including those directed specifically to young children. Sports and news shows will not carry the Guidelines. The V-Chip - a device built into most newer television sets - to allow parents to block out programs they don't want their children to see. The V-Chip electronically reads television-programming ratings and allows parents to block programs they believe are unsuitable for their children.
Nielsen, Arthur C. "What TV ratings really mean." 5/5/05 3/21/05 <www.nielsenmedia.com>
But what Nielsen Media Research means by a "TV rating" is not the same as the common usage of the word "rating". Nielsen Media Research does not provide qualitative evaluations of how much a program is "liked" when we rate programs. The TV rating is only the simplest and most democratic measure of the audience: how many people watched. Programs which have larger audiences are, by definition, the successful ones. Ratings numbers which you may have seen are the average audience rating, or the percent tuned to a particular program during the average minute.
Mead, Thomas. "Understanding Television Rating Systems and Codes." 5/5/05 4/7/05 <www.media-awareness.ca>
Regulation of television content in Canada is primarily a voluntary system. Broadcasters, cable systems and speciality channels follow voluntary codes of conduct that address issues such as violence, gender representation, ethics, and advertising to children.
Craig, Jeremy. "Understanding the Rating System." 5/5/05 2/14/01 <www.geocities.com>
The ratings system required by the US Federal Communications Commission was first put into use in January 1997 by cable and broadcast television, with all shows bearing a rating in the upper left-hand corner, except for news telecasts. This system is used with the new V-Chip control device, which, according to who you ask, can be a way for parents to either keep their kids safe, or could be the beginnings of government censorship. Again, this is all according to who you ask.
Vincentrini, Anthony. "A Guide To TV ratings system." 5/5/05 9/7/03 <www.cnwz.org>
The TV ratings system exists in order to help parents make informed decisions about what they want their children to watch or not to watch on television. The ratings system applies to all TV programs, except news and sports programming.

For the first 15 seconds at the beginning of each rated program, the rating appears in the upper left hand corner of the TV screen. When a program lasts more than an hour, the rating reappears on the screen at the beginning of the second hour. Time Warner Cable's program guide and most printed TV guides also include the programs' ratings.
Novoa, Joseph. "Defining the TV rating system." 5/5/05 1/21/05 <www.controlyourtv.org>
