Children view late
More children are watching television later, in spite of clips warning parents that programmes after 8.30 p.m. may be unsuitable.
The Mental Health Foundation’s research officer, Dr Hilary Haines, studied viewing patterns for children aged between three and 14 to guage the effectiveness of the warnings by the “After School” host, Oily Ohlson.
In 1982, the average number of children watching television at 10.30 p.m. was 17,000, but a year later the figure rose to 21,000, said Dr Haines. “The evaluation needs to be more extensive before any firm conclusions can be drawn, but the indication here suggests the clips are ineffective.”
