The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has initiated a new inquiry into the TV ratings system, specifically into whether issues of gender identity are being included in children's programming without being flagged up by parents. The system, established after a 1996 law, includes TV-Y for programs appropriate for all children and TV-MA for mature audiences. The FCC's Media Bureau has also raised concerns about content featuring transgender and non-binary topics. Public comment is requested on the transparency of the TV Oversight Management Board, which oversees the ratings, and the accuracy of the guidelines. The agency is also seeking public input on whether there is disparity in ratings for different platforms, and whether streaming services are more broadly interpreting what is allowable in categories intended for audiences.
