The Family Friendly Programming Forum is a group of over 40 major national advertisers, all members of the Association of National Advertisers and representing approximately 30% of all U.S. television advertising dollars, who are taking positive steps to increase family friendly programming choices on television.

The mission of the Family Friendly Programming Forum is to be a formidable influence supporting and promoting the development of family friendly content across multiple distribution platforms.

The Family Friendly Programming Forum delivers on its mission through a number of different initiatives:

Script Development Fund to help fund family friendly scripts
Scholarship Program for students who work on family friendly projects
Annual Symposium to engage and educate the networks, writers, producers and press
Family Television Awards which annually recognize outstanding family television

The underlying goal of the Family Friendly Programming Forum is to support and promote content alternatives that adults and children can enjoy together.

The definition of family friendly content is purposefully broad. Relevant to today's diverse and complex consumer, it has multi-generational appeal, depicts real life and is appropriate in theme, content and language. Family Friendly content also embodies a responsible resolution of issues.

The Family Friendly Programming Forum will continue to advocate and raise the visibility of family friendly television shows with the networks, writers and producers.

The viewing public deserves nothing less.
