French minister attacks TV for tots
Gallic culture and communications minister Christine Albanel has called for greater awareness among broadcasters and parents of the potential dangers of TV aimed at very young children, such as U.S.-based channels Baby TV and BabyFirst. 24-06-2008
In response to a report by France’s Directorate General of Health warning against “channels for children under three years of age, irrespective of the type of programming,” Albanel said Friday, “I want to tell parents not to use these channels. They bombard children with images and sounds. We do not know what effects this may have on such young people.” Both Albanel and France’s broadcasting authority Conseil Superieur de l’Audiovisuel have expressed their concerns about the potential dangers represented by baby and toddler-oriented channels including Baby TV and BabyFirst, which are available in France and other European countries via cable and satellite. As both channels are broadcast into France from the U.K., however, CSA restrictions on youth programming cannot be enforced.
