TV channels will soon begin beaming viewer advisories, resort to 
sensitive scheduling of programmes during family viewing hours (between 
4 am and 12 midnight) and mature audience hours (midnight to 4 am) and 
adhere to a self-imposed content code. The code would vary depending on 
the programme, targeted viewers, context and time-of-day with editorial 
responsibility vested with broadcasters. There would be no preview or 
pre-censorship of programmes by the council. The content code will be in 
conjunction with relevant legislation and licence conditions of the 
government and IBF would not try to 
interpret
 these laws in its code 
and guidelines.
