NBC Universal Boosts Junk Food Ad Ban During Kids’ TV

Note from Connie: I’m on vacation this week so, thanks to Karen, she’ll tell you about this story from TV Week. 

NBC Universal Television Group recently announced that it will expand the junk food advertising ban it currently maintains for its Qubo block of children’s informational programming to include similar programming on the 26 local NBC and Telemundo television stations it owns and operates.

This is all supposed to take effect June 1, 2008.

TV Week speculates the move will cause other networks to follow suit.

Should be interesting to see how this develops.
