READ THE TEXT. ARE THE STATEMENTS TRUE OR FALSE?

The ITC, the Independent Television Commission, regulates commercial television in the UK.
They make rules for everything: the content of programmes and advertising, the appropriate time to
transmit certain materials, the technical quality of transmissions, etc. If broadcasters don’t follow ITC
rules, they are penalised. The Independent Television Commission also investigates complaints from
the audience and publishes the results regularly. Here are some examples:
Three viewers complained about an advertisement for a famous fried chicken restaurant. They said
it gave the impression that you received more than three pieces of chicken when you ordered chicken
strips and that the container with sauce in the advert was larger than the one they sold in the restaurant.
The ITC decided that the visual content of the advert clearly gave the wrong impression. As a
result, the advertiser had to change the image of the sauce container and add a title saying “3 for 2.15
pounds.”
Another programme showed people taking extraordinary risks. Once one of them ate six glasses in
front of the camera. Six TV viewers complained that children at home might do the same thing.
The ITC considered that the act was clearly presented as something very dangerous and not as
something that children should do themselves. Consequently, the ITC decided that there was nothing
illegal about the programme.

1. The ITC decides the appropriate time to show some programmes.

2. The ITC keeps its decisions secret.
3. The TV advert for the chicken strips showed more food than you actually got in the restaurant.
4. The advertiser for the chicken restaurant had to change some things in the TV advert.
5. The ITC penalised the broadcasters of the last programme mentioned in the passage.
