MUMBAI: The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is expected to reconsider its children's TV rules in light of changes suggested by a group of broadcasters and activists. According to an Associated Press report, the commission has scheduled the issue for its 26 September open meeting.

The organisation had issued new children's TV rules for the digital age in 2005. But, after facing resistence from various sides, the body had stayed the effective date of the rules.

As per the report, the commission is expected to approve some version of the deal, which heads off lawsuits filed by both kids-TV activists and media companies.
