RTÉ Programme Classifications
The RTÉ Programme Classification (known as the On Screen Classification) is a rating system for television programmes or films in Ireland. The system was introduced in November 2001 and issues viewers on RTÉ One and RTÉ Two, at the beginning of a programme (excluding news and sports), with a rating to indicate which age group the content is suitable for. The System is an information service to television viewers, letting them know more about the content of scheduled programmes so that they can make informed decisions to view or not to view. Children's and young adult's programmes will be labeled as such. Programmes with explicit sex or violence is more suited to a mature audience, which will not merely be scheduled until after the 9pm watershed, but will be flagged on screen. In March 2020, the on-screen classification system was removed on both channels due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In its place, on RTÉ One it reads "Stay At Home", and on RTÉ Two, in Irish, "Fan sa Bhaile". ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
