![]() ![]() “As bad as broadcast TV has gotten, its nothing compared with what children consume day and night on basic cable,” Bozell wrote recently to Sen. Brent Bozell III, a father of five who is president of the television council, wants Congress to pressure cable TV companies into offering “a la carte” service, so parents can pay only for the channels they want their family to see. She wishes - not optimistically - that the industry could police itself without the need for mandatory standards. Karen Koonce, whose family attends the same Omaha church as the Odells, uses a V-chip to screen programming and a filter to block out swear words. “We absolutely need some enforceable federal controls the industry can’t be trusted to do it themselves.” “They have to be held to a higher standard than just 'Parental guidance advised,”’ she said. Though she says parents must exercise vigilance, Odell believes the TV industry deserves blame for failing to keep questionable content off early-evening network shows. “The hardest challenge is with the shows that are supposed to be safe.” “I’m particular about what I let them watch, and I’m still having problems,” Odell said. The two eldest are banned outright from watching MTV the two youngest, she said, encounter crude language even on ostensibly child-friendly cartoons. What is child-friendly?Odell’s children include a 4-year-old, an 8-year-old and two high school students, so the challenges in terms of monitoring TV content vary widely. Some prefer that their children watch videos instead of TV others try to prevent children from watching except with a parent present.
