Music Video Regulation

 Music videos are not regulated as such, but services such as Ofcom try to advise music videos against featuring explicit content. Ofcom has wide-ranging powers across the television, radio, telecoms and postal sectors. It has a statutory duty to represent the interests of citizens and consumers by promoting competition and protecting the public from harmful or offensive material. Music videos cannot be banned due to the internet, meaning that Ofcom can't really do much in the sense of stopping people seeing music videos, the only way of slightly regulation a music video would be having them getting banned on television and TV channels is by the broadcaster deciding that it should be banned.

Channels can come under fire such as MTV for censoring stuff on there channel Censorship on MTV has been the subject of debate for years. MTV, the first and most popular music television network in the U.S., has come under criticism for being too politically correct and sensitive, censoring too much of their programming. MTV altered or removed shows from the channel's schedule and music videos were censored, moved to late-night rotation, or banned entirely from the channel.
