CABLE AGREES TO WARNING ON VIOLENT PROGRAMS

The major players in cable television, following the lead of the broadcast networks, Thursday agreed to air a warning to parents on violent programs.

Fifteen networks - including HBO, Showtime, USA, the Disney Channel, MTV, Nickelodeon, A&E, the Discovery Channel and the Turner Entertainment Networks - accepted the advisory, which could be applied to anything shown on cable, including movies. The criteria for determining what is violent will be left to the networks. - Associated Press
