Internal memo from MTV for 'war time' programming
2003.03.22 . .
I guess the programmers at MTV don't want to "offend" anyone. Take a look at these 'war-time' programming guidelines.
2. Programme recommendations
Under the ITC's rules, we have two main obligations regarding programmes:
(a) Not to broadcast material which offends against good taste or is offensive to public feeling.
For example, no programme should contain:
(i) images of war, bombs, missiles, etc that are likely to be seen as insensitive or offensive at this time (see above for further guidance).
(ii) jokes about the war, about bombing Iraqis, about the American, Iraqi or UK troops.
(iii) comments about the war that are likely to be seen as insensitive or offensive.
