Conclusions
The analysis of the results has confirmed that TV professionals generally perceive that the situation has improved with respect to the first years of the Self-regulation Code. In fact, in the case of the two
large private television groups, their representatives consider that the level of awareness on issues related to the labelling of contents and the predisposition to respect the “protected hours” have increased substantially in recent years. For his part, the representative of TVE reaffirmed the commitment of the national public TV Corporation with the rating of TV contents and children’s rights, as we can see in its style book. This greater awareness of television operators is endorsed by the fact that all their DTT broadcasts are labelled according to the guiding criteria of the Self-regulation Code on Television Contents and Childhood and, in a complementary way, according to the criteria set by other agencies, such as the film rating system of the Institute of Cinematography and Audiovisual Arts, the Audiovisual Council of Catalonia (in the case of the Catalan Corporation of Radio and Television) and the Audiovisual Council of Andalusia (in the case of Canal Sur Televisión). Moreover, the fact that TV networks have established labelling protocols and of managers confirms this perception of real progress in terms awareness about the issue among TV broadcasters. Based on the previous results, the final conclusion is that five of the six initial hypotheses are confirmed and only the fifth one was rejected. This statement can be summarised in the following manner: In general, all TV networks under study label their broadcast contents with the rating information and also include this information on the EPG. However, the analysis shows that not all TV networks do so correctly; in one cases -TVG- the EPG did not contain rating information, apparently due to technical problems (H1). Similarly, the analysis showed that some TV networks -ETB and TVG- do not incorporate the programmes’ rating information in their website and the broadcast teletext. Moreover, programmes’ rating information was difficult to locate in the websites of the TV channels (H2). Sometimes, the rate label of certain programmes is not adequate. In light of the administrative sanctions imposed on some TV networks, sometimes the rating of programmes is not representative of the contents and, in that sense, there is certain laxity when it comes to adapt age-appropriateness recommendations to the contents of the programmes (H3). Is was also confirmed that there are, and this is recognised by the TV networks, difficulties to rate and label the contents because the criteria are susceptible to interpretation and so they are incorrectly applied in certain cases (H4). The hypothesis that states that TV networks lack rating procedures was rejected, especially if we consider the opinion of the panel of experts and the existence of programme rating committees that operate in different TV networks (H5). The lack of a uniform rating system throughout Spain is clear if we compare the rate labelling used by the regional television corporation of Catalonia with the rest of the networks or we compare the labels used in the websites of Atresmedia and Mediaset (H6).
