American TV channels in other countries

[SkyscrapersAmerica]

There are laws in every country, and there are things that are smart to do with certain laws and there are things that are not smart to do with certain laws.

Elementary school is compulsory in most countries from childhood, and countries invest a lot of time, money and effort in school. If the US in other countries broadcasts TV content
which harms their school system, it is not smart because over time it will have a negative impact on their own country.

An example, an American resident says: "If I were the president of America, I would take care of the content that is broadcast on American channels in other countries. Elementary school is is compulsory in most countries, in order to preserve and improve relations with other countries and to respect each other more, US must take care of the content broadcast from American TV channels in other countries."

An example, an American resident says: "I have a private TV channel whose content is broadcast in Europe. In Europe, elementary school is compulsory from childhood and therefore I have to take care of the content that is broadcast on my private channel. If I didn't take care about the content that is being broadcast then in that way I would create problems for myself, my family and the country in which I live."

Do you have an EXAMPLE of a private TV channel in Europe on which the content is NOT cared for by the American owner?

And what is the damage being done?

I have a relative in Europe, there is a lot of content that is broadcast on TV that comes from America. This content advertises sex, drugs, violence... which is not okay, because elementary school is compulsory in Europe.

I am not complaining about the content that is broadcast in America, but about the content that comes from America and is broadcast in other countries.

The laws of other countries must be respected, because those who do not respect the laws of other countries will certainly not respect the laws of their own country either.

I like my country to prosper in such a way that the laws will be changed in the right direction, but they cannot be changed properly because of the wrong relationship with other countries.

Why does that matter? Elementary school is compulsory in America, too.

Do the schools force students to watch channels with American content?

IF so, that is their problem.

Only two agents can control what their students watch: their parents and the LOCAL authorities.

I have no idea what your complaint is about. Other countries pay for the US feed they rebroadcast, but they're subject to each country's law too.
Ratings may be different and local ads substituted but so what?

All in all American broadcast TV is much tamer and lamer than most other countries and believe me those viewer content warnings pop up on the dumbest shows even if there is no adult, violence or sexual content at all.

But I do get a kick out of seeing local US ads for BigJohnny's Bailiff Services pop up on Jerry Springer and those five bucks, five bucks, five bucks pizzas when here it's like $15, $15, $15. As I do the semi-fraudulent ads where a Canadian Station is OTA to the US border where they state "X miles per gallon". Gallons aren't even legal tender in Canada, and when they were they were 20% bigger than in the USA....

On our dish we get all the US stations east & west feeds. Hardly ever watch any besides PBS. Everything worth watching on the other stations is on a Canadian network too, with Cdn ads switched in.
