RTÉ are to introduce a new on-screen classification initiative to let viewers know more about the content of scheduled programmes.
Icons will appear on screen for 20 seconds at the start of each programme, which will help people to make informed decisions to view or not to view.
The five classification categories are: General Audience (GA), Children (CH), Young Adult (YA), Parental Supervision (PS) and Mature Audience (MA).
The new classification system will be introduced during November.
