Control and self-regulation on content and childhood
Atresmedia Televisión
has subscribed to the
Código de
Autorregulación sobre Contenidos Televisivos e Infancia
(Code of Self-Regulation on TV Content and Childhood) since
2005
. It is a sectorial code of conduct, voluntarily applicable to
any subscribing companies, that veils to protect minors in TV
content. Moreover,
Atresmedia
is part of its Comisión Mixta de
Seguimiento (Joint Follow-up Commission) in charge of ensuring
its proper application.
After several months of work and permanent cooperation at
the core of the bodies in the Code with audio-visual authorities
of the Comisión Nacional de los Mercados y Competencia
(National Commission of Markets and Competition),
Atresmedia
subscribed the updated text of the Code modifying the content
rating system by age group, as well as the criteria to determine
such ratings. This change seeks greater objectiveness and
automation in applying the Code and, especially, facilitates
parental control for responsible adults.
During 2015, the Comité de Autorregulación (Self-Regulation
Committee) has not accepted any claim of those presented
due to broadcasts in
Atresmedia
channels. After the number
of claims raised in 2014,
Atresmedia
has made an effort to
comply with the new interpretation of the rule derived from
the assumption by the Comisión Nacional de los Mercados
y la Competencia (National Commission of Markets and
Competition) of its sanctioning responsibility on this matter.

In 2015, two claims from viewers were registered for broadcasts
considered inconvenient, both linked to broadcasting images in
Antena 3
news programs on the Charlie Hebdo magazine attacks,
without previously warning about their harshness. Although news
programs are not rated by age, the Code demands that viewers
be clearly warned in the event of broadcasting extremely harsh
content or that may hurt their sensitivity.
In 2015, the
Atresmedia Group
has not breached
the Código de
Autorregulación
sobre Contenidos
Televisivos e
Infancia (Code of
Self-Regulation on
TV Content and
Childhood).
