The France-based pornography channel Eurotica Rendez Vous is subject to an order which went into force at midnight last night which declares the channel unacceptable, effectively banning it.
Culture Secretary Chris Smith received notification of the pornographic service from the Independent Television Commission (ITC) in March (see ITC Calls For Proscription Of Porn Channel), and under Section 177 of the 1990 Broadcasting Act has proscribed the channel. He commented: “We are determined to protect children from satellite pornography and my message to pornographers is clear, we will not tolerate material such as this on our television sets, and the Government will not hesitate to take this action again in future.”
