TV stations pledge to avoid indecency

JAKARTA: The Indonesian Television Broadcasting Association
(ATVSI) pledged not to air programs showing indecent material,
and those that highlight violence and ghost busting.

Chairman Karni Ilyas told a press conference on Wednesday that
starting next January, the association through its code of ethics
commission (KP3K) would monitor all programs aired by its
members.

"We will accommodate all complaints from the public and make
recommendations," he added.

ATVSI executive Uni Lubis added that the association members
had started to reduce the number of such programs. -- JP
