Statement by TV Watch in Response to Today's 2nd Circuit Ruling

CHARLESTON, SC – Jim Dyke, the Executive Director of TV Watch, released the following statement in regards to today's 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals decision:

"Today's decision by the court is further evidence that the highest authority on family television viewing is parents and not the government. Eighty-seven percent of parents agree according to our research. Parents already have tools such as the V-Chip and content ratings to help them make decisions based on their own taste, values and style. We will continue to educate parents about such resources."
