The KBP provides broadcast media regulations[3] and guidelines for news, public affairs and commentaries, political broadcasts, children's shows, religious programming, and including advertising to its members. The members of the KBP[4] are composed of the owners and operators of radio and television stations including the radio and television stations themselves.

Broadcast code of the Philippines

edit

The KBP's Broadcast Code[5] is a set of standards for performance and ethics to be followed by member radio and television stations. The Code[6] is in 3 parts: Part 1 includes the 33 articles of which the standards for programming[7] are illustrated. Part 2 pertains to the implementing rules and regulations of the KBP, while Part 3 outlines the penalties for violations.

The 33 articles of Part 1 cover all broadcast media (radio and television) that are members of KBP. These mainly cover how programs such as news and public affairs programs remain just, fair and unbiased in their views and opinions. The Code also states that news sources must be clearly identified, except when the sources meet a confidentiality condition. The Code provides correctional measures should a broadcast entity release non-factual information. The standards in the Code pertain to all types of programming and how these should be monitored when showing content that is sexual or violent. The KBP advocates the 18-minute advertising per hour rule for Philippine TV stations, the 18-minute rule[8][9] was strictly implemented to prevent ads cluttering the TV programs.
