Besides our new programming and movies, AETN will become a HBO-style network and will also no longer airs local funding credits
and will have new rating bumpers before programs instead of the very start of the program containing the film/episode rating with
additional features included in the program such as closed captioning and whether the program is broadcast in stereo along with
content descriptors that describe what is included in the program such as:
AC
(Adult content)
This descriptor means that the film or program may contain suggestive dialogue, crude humor or in extreme cases, drug references that may not be suitable for children. This does not necessarily account for usage of mild profanity. Films rated "PG" or TV series rated "TV-PG" or higher often use this.
AL
(Adult language)
This descriptor suggests that the program may contain profanity, ranging from either mild profanity to expletives with or without a sexual meaning. Films rated "PG" or TV series rated "TV-PG" or higher often use this.
GL
(Graphic language)
This descriptor suggests that the program may contain profanity, often with expletives with or without a sexual meaning. Criteria for the "GL" description is usually for films or television programs that contain "one of the harsher sexually derived words" (such as ****) or other explicit swearing such as "goddamn", more than four times during the run of the program. The use of this content descriptor is usually exclusive to films that are rated "R" or television series rated "TV-MA".
MV
(Mild violence)
This suggests the program contains a mild amount of violent content, either comedic or non-comedic in nature, that may or may not include some bloodshed. Films rated "PG" or TV series rated "TV-PG" or higher often use this, however this descriptor is seldom used in "R" or "TV-MA" rated programs.
V
(Violence)
This suggests the program contains a moderate to significant amount of violent content, which may include mild to moderate amounts of bloodshed.
GV
(Graphic violence)
This means that the program or film may contain a high amount of violence, blood or gore, that is unsuitable for younger audiences or those who are squeamish to such content. The usage of this descriptor depends on how long the blood or gore is actually shown and how much of it is included. The use of this content descriptor is often exclusive to films that are rated "R" or television series rated "TV-MA", though there is rare use of this for films rated "PG-13".
BN
(Brief nudity)
This means that the film or program contains a minimal amount of moderate nudity, that may either be depicted in a sexual or non-sexual nature, as such the program or film may not necessarily contain full-frontal nudity.
N
(Nudity)
This means that the film or program contains a moderate to significant amount of moderate or full-frontal nudity, that may either be depicted in a sexual or non-sexual nature. This may either be for anything such as the display of topless women or male rear nudity, to exposed genitalia. The use of this content descriptor is generally exclusive to films that are rated "R" or television series rated "TV-MA", and only occasionally used in films rated "PG-13" or television series or made-for-TV movies rated "TV-14".
SSC
(Strong sexual content)
This descriptor signifies that the program may contain scenes of simulated (or in rare cases, actual) sexual intercourse, often seen of a pornographic nature, with moderate or full-frontal nudity included. Scenes of men (or sometimes women, though this is not often shown) receiving oral sex may also fall within the criteria for an "SSC" rating. An SSC rating means the sexual content in the program may be unsuitable for those under the age of 18. The use of this content descriptor is strictly exclusive to films that are rated "R" or television series rated "TV-MA".
RP
(Rape)
This denotes the film or program may contain graphic scenes of forced sexual intercourse, depicted in a realistic but fictional nature. Any program that contains such content is not suitable for children under the age of 18. The use of this content descriptor is strictly exclusive to films that are rated "R" or television series rated "TV-MA", but is rarely used unless the program contains scenes of rape.
So, we'll see you then, Monday May 3rd for the relaunch of the new AETN, we hope to see us!!
