What is the use of the self-regulation code that a few years ago voluntarily signed some Spanish television networks? Well, apparently, you're welcome. Complaints about the programs issued are increasing and the exclusive reason is the breach of the time zone of child protection that the chains promised to respect.
Instead of being reduced, or rather, eliminating the emission of programs where bad words appear, violence, sex and other aspects not at all edicative for children, increase. In the last year alone, complaints have multiplied by three to 359, although less than 10% have been accepted as such. The audience and the profitability that for the chains supposes, is much more important than the education of the children, of that there is no doubt before such data. Instead of respecting a schedule where children and educational programs are mostly contemplated, programs loaded with everything we do not want for the education of our children are contemplated.
The palm is taken Channel 4 and Antenna 3 that monopolize 280 complaints of the 359 formulated, chains like Tele 5, La Sexta or TVE gather 79 complaints, perhaps we must applaud TVE, since it is the one that has received the least complaints, only 15.
We have already spoken repeatedly in Babies and more on this subject and before the silence of the television networks, it would be great to initiate some action that affected them where it hurt the most, in this case in the audience. Stop watching their broadcasts might help to change the situation, but for this we should be especially involved parents, since they ignore the complaints made, it is best to ignore their programming.
Television must be for everyone and must accept all kinds of programs capable of filling the most varied tastes, but first of all, children, their television spaces and especially their education must be respected. Let's not let the garbage TV proliferate.
