dbpprop:abstract
  • The Parents Television Council (PTC) is an American nonprofit organization founded by conservative activist L. Brent Bozell III in 1995. Through publications on its website including reviews, research reports, and online newsletters, the Council seeks to inform parents of television programs or other entertainment products that it considers beneficial or harmful to the development of children . Campaigns run by the Council include allowing subscribers to select and pay for only the cable channels that they prefer to watch, holding advertisers accountable for the television programs that they sponsor, and trying to keep children from watching television content they deem to be harmful and negative. Over the years, the PTC has launched several campaigns in response to perceived indecency on television programs. Such campaigns have also involved filing complaints with the FCC, and the organization has generated the majority of FCC complaints over perceived indecent television content. Programs for which it has filed complaints and later deemed indecent by the FCC include NYPD Blue, the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show, and Without a Trace. Beyond television programs themselves, PTC's activism has spread to urging advertisers to withdraw sponsorship from programs that the group deems offensive, criticizing companies for offensive advertising, and advising on other branches of entertainment media.
