Broadcasters and child advocates agree.
Washington--A coalition of U.S. child-welfare advocacy groups
arrived at an agreement with the cable and broadcast networks which will
end legal action over children's digital TV regulations. The suit
was aimed at protecting children's educational programming from
pre-emption for sports broadcasts.
The agreement guarantees three hours of educational or cultural
programming air each week on broadcasters' primary and digital
multicast channels. It also limits links to commercial Web sites
featured in the programming and sets limits on noneducational
promotions.
