Other requirements While the focus of this guide is the CTS 6 classification requirements for C and P programs, applicants may wish to consider other matters covered by the CTS. These include requirements on the protection of children from unsuitable and potentially harmful program and advertising material. No advertisements can be broadcast during P periods and limitations are placed on nonprogram material broadcast during the C period. The protection provisions are set out in Part 3 of the CTS and regulate areas such as the use of premium offers in advertising, the use of popular characters and personalities in advertising, program promotions, prizes, competitions and advertising of alcoholic drinks. Licensees are required to ensure that all material broadcast during C and P periods complies with all requirements of the CTS. See ‘Children’s Television Standards 2009’ on the ACMA website for more information on the protection provisions within the CTS.
