SF: "Logo Rouge" for more protection of minors
Swiss television has introduced a new logo. It is intended to indicate whether a movie or TV series is suitable for children and teenagers under the ages of 16 or 18, respectively.
The correspondingly unsuitable programs have been marked with the "Logo Rouge" since Monday, as SF announced. During the entire broadcast, a red bar is visible under the station logo for programs that are not suitable for minors. Visual and acoustic warnings are also broadcast before the programs, and the warning is also visible in the TV program and on the SF website. The protective measure applies to SF 1, SF 2 and HD suisse.
According to the press release, Swiss television will only broadcast programs that are suitable for viewers aged 18 and over from 11 p.m. onwards, and those that are only suitable for viewers aged 16 and over from 10 p.m. onwards. The main program from 8 p.m. is generally aimed at adults and children aged 12 and over, while under-12s are also addressed during the day. Despite these principles, individual films or series may deviate from these principles, SF admits. Warnings and the "Logo Rouge" now draw attention to this
With its measures to protect children and young people, Swiss Television wants to help parents make decisions about their children's TV consumption.
