Talk:Watershed (broadcasting)

message: I've noticed that the Greek rating system is integrated into this article. I'm just wondering why no other rating system is clearly defined in this this is gay is made). I think there needs to be some consistency, one way or the other.

message: I think it should be noted that adult shows such as The Simpsons are edited to allow a  younger audience. This however, it not performed on Sky One. Scenes edited are generally those including Sexual Innuendo.-- OsirisV (talk) 21:46, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

message: In Watersheds by country, it says that the UK watershed is 2100 (correct AFAIK), but the Watersheds by time says 2200. Does anyone know what's going on? Daleks Rule (talk) 22:38, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

message: The 24 hour clock should be used throughout the article so it can be understood and clear.  10.00 is not clear unless you continually use the phrase 10.00pm.  This is an encyclopedia and so clear terms should be used: 22.00 not 10.00.  If you feel that some Americans won't understand then put the American time in brackets: 22.00 (10pm).  As it stands using the 12 hour clock makes it look like it was written by a 10-year-old.--109.114.23.74 (talk) 15:06, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  12 hour clock used in the USA section 

message: I would personally question this section of the article. Watching RTL recently i came across a show called 'Küss oder cash (kiss or cash)', where by a bunch of lasses (mostly not wearing much) covort for the attentions of some beefcake. Although not specifically 'adult', it was  clearly quite sexually charged with at least one of the contestants being an ex porn star with enourmous 'assets' and an extremely small swimsuit. This was at 16:30 in the afternoon. There is no way such a program would be screened in the UK at that time.141.6.11.15 (talk) 09:19, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: It's the problem with the ratings, it's the same for France. Full frontal nudity will not land a restriction by itself, nor drug usage or foul words, the full content has to be judged as "disturbing" to be -10, -12 will have significant violence, and -16 extreme violence or soft porn. So basically the 20:00 French watershed is equivalent to the 22:00 US one, and the 22:00 French one allows most cable only US content to be shown (HBO series like Oz for example).

thread_title:  Possible copyright problem 

message: Should this article be updated to take into account the pervasiveness of streaming? It's now possible to view shows that might have been only post-watershed in the past at any time of the day via streaming, with of course a number of streaming networks now creating original programming. Has this had any impact on watershed rules and regulations anywhere? Theoretically there is nothing stopping someone from viewing a sexually explicit series like Sense8 or Masters of Sex - or even network shows airing post-watershed like Scandal - at 4:30 in the afternoon while the kids are having supper. 68.146.52.234 (talk) 16:59, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

message: I came to the page hoping to find when a watershed was introduced here. The UK section contains "Until 1 October 2011, the watershed ended at", but the regulation must have been instigated at some point in time, I suggest. And before that, there must have been debate about how to deal with the issues that the watershed mechanism was adopted as the eventual solution for, I also suggest. Whether a watershed is a generally accepted time by broadcasters, or a time laid down by law or by regulators might also be of interest. Nick Barnett (talk) 12:39, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
