New Delhi, May 8

For beaming adult programmes, television channels may have to adhere to specific timings. The Government is considering fixing specific timings for TV channels to beam adult content and the matter has been referred to a committee, the Union Information and Broadcasting Minister, Mr P.R. Dasmunsi, said on Tuesday in a reply to the Lok Sabha.

Requests had been received on the matter for fixing specific timings for such programmes, he said. However, all matters relating to programmes or advertisement telecast on TV channels, including requests for `watershed' time for the telecast of adult content, have been referred to a committee, set up for a review of Programme and Advertising Code under the Cable Television Network (Regulation) Act and guidelines for certification of films under the Cinematograph Act, he said.

The recommendations of the committee have not yet been received as meetings are continuing.

In another reply, he said so far no separate code has been proposed to control the content of advertisements to avoid any adverse impact on the children.
