FCC Adopts Report on Violent Television Programming and Its Impact on Children

by on

Press release: “The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) released today a Report on the issue of excessively violent television programming and its impact on children. The FCC found that research indicates exposure to violence in the media can increase aggressive behavior in children, at least in the short term. Given this finding, the FCC recommends that action should be taken to address violent programming.”

  • In the Matter of Violent Television Programming And Its Impact On Children, MB Docket No. 04-261, Report Adopted April 6, 2007 and Released April 25, 2007: “Television is an integral part of the lives of American families. An average American household has the television set turned on 8 hours and 11 minutes daily, and children watch on average between two and four hours of television every day. Depending on their age, one to two thirds of children have televisions in their bedrooms. By the time most children begin the first grade, they will have spent the equivalent of three school years in front of the television set.”
