U. S. Federal Communications Commission is contemplating over establishment of rules, which will oblige broadcasters to screen more kid-friendly edifying shows.

It may be noted here that United States already has Children's Television Act that asks channel operators to screen kid-related educational programs for at least 3 hours a week.

Children's Television Act, which also put ban on certain advertisement to children, was enforced in 1990.

Julius Genachowski, chairman of the FCC has informed John Rockefeller, Senate Commerce Committee Chairman, that he has ordered his staff to scrutinize the law once more.

Speaking on the topic, Julius Genachowski said, "Guarding against inappropriate marketing to children is as vital today as it was twenty years ago."

The agency would look into if the Children's Television Act can still able to protect kids against inappropriate marketing in this digital age.

Good educational programs can teach children while entertaining them. On the contrary, indecent programs can push children towards immorality.
