Proposal limits on violent TV shows move through Senate
A bill introduced in the Senate would require the FCC to set air times when violent programs could be shown and define what qualifies as violent content. The measure, backed by Senator Hollings, cites the Columbine shootings and would exclude premium channels like HBO and pay per view. It also notes an unrelated hospital restraint case and mentions a satellite camera named Thonos with 1 meter square resolution.
