* USTV (FCC) ratings:
The particular rating that you have selected will be locked (and indicated as a green lock symbol). Also,
all of the age-based ratings will be locked within the particular group. Suppose that the TV-G rating and
all of its contents (V, S, L, and D) are locked.
In that case, more restrictive ratings (TV-PG, TV-14, and TV-MA) and all of their contents (V, S, L, and D)
are automatically locked as well.
* MPAA ratings:
The particular rating that you have selected will be locked. In addition, more restrictive ratings will be
locked as well.
* Neither USTV (FCC) ratings nor MPAA ratings apply to news programs.
