Watershed?

There is none in Spain. Family Guy for the little ones and Hannah Montana at midnight! Halloween Simpsons at Easter and so on.

Another problem is that advance TV programmes often show a movie as "To be decided". I often think they just troll round to their local video hire shop.

Friday. It's 11.30. One channel is showing Heidi for the little ones.

Sunday. For those interested, the filth is on TDT, Digital mainstream TV after midnight on at least one programme. The progeamme , I think it is called 'Beautiful & Ambitious,' is best described as mainline porn.

p.s. Is a 'Lassie' movie soft paw corn?

If you are referring to TV programs, they don't have a watershed. I've seen programs on in the middle of the afternoon which would be deemed as adult programs.

There is no 'watershed' as such and depending on where you are some local channels will show continuous hard pornography (and I mean hard) from midnight or 1am to about 6am.

doesn't seem to be one - you can see adult themes and nudity midday.

There isn't one. However, hardcore porn is only shown on digital or sky channels not on the main channels. The Spanish however do like the soft porn and that seems to be shown on all channels although they do seem to keep it to the evening.

The scheduling however makes no sense (contrary to previous answers) as Heidi was indeed on late last night and matilda was on this evening - starting at 10.00. It is not unusual for a kids film to be on at midnight, or a good series to be shown at 2 or 3 in the morning (both Jekyll and Torchwood have suffered this fate)

There is a midnight watershed.

As stated above there is a broad mix of programs at all times of the day, but post midnight many channels show very hard pornography.

So beward if you have kids up late channel surfing.

Perhaps you could rephrase your question because, as it is now, it doesn't make any sense.

For those who haven't understood the question; in the UK the watershed is the time of day that programmes containing "adult content" can be broadcast on TV. I think thin is 9pm, and "adult" content includes swearing, violence and sexual content.

In Spain I don't think there is a watershed, and in general people are slightly less prudish about that sort of thing. I often hear parents swer in front of or even at thier children.

Programming is organised on a more common sense approach (eg: at 7am, and 5pm, you are likely to have a young audience, so children's programmes are oradcast on many channels), and there are rules on what is/isnot acceptable at any time of day. But no watershed.
