A new study by the Parents Television Council and the Enough is Enough Campaign claims adult content is displayed on MTV & BET every 38 seconds. While these channels certainly go over the line with the imagery they provide during "school hours", the sample size used by the PTC was a little small. The groups analyzed three programs: BET’s “106 and Park”, “Rap City” and MTV’s “Sucker Free”.“What BET and MTV are offering to children on these three programs is full of offensive and vulgar content, the likes of which cannot yet be found on broadcast television. Being in the trenches fighting for better indecency enforcement and cable choice on behalf of millions of American families, we thought we’d seen it all – but even we were taken aback by what we found in the music video programs on MTV and BET that are targeted directly at impressionable children,” PTC President Tim Winter said.Paul Porter of Industry Ears took a harsher tone when expressing his concern with the networks. “Nielsen ratings conclude that more than 40 percent of their audience is under 18. Predators lure kids with candy and BET gets them with the same old ‘slap a hoe’ themes.”You can read the entire report over at *"Hip Hop DX":http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.6765/title.bet-mtv-programming-predatory*
