The Media Council has launched a public proceeding against public TV station M1 to determine whether it violated rules protecting minors from viewing violent or sexually explicit content, HVG reports. According to the Media Council, the station’s Camelot program contains sexually explicit and violent material that warrants a stricter “over 16 year old” rating, which would mean the program could only be aired after 11 p.m. The series, which is currently rated as “not recommended for under 12,” initially aired after 9 p.m., and then was reportedly re-aired the next day in the early afternoon, in violation of the 2010 Media Act, which specifies that programs with this rating can only be aired between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. (see Articles 9 – 11, of the Mttv).
