Timebands, Parental Locks and Classifications
Do you use free-to-air TV classifications like G, PGR and AO, or timebands like the 8.30pm watershed, to help decide what you, or children in your care, watch?
The Broadcasting Standards Authority are considering whether some changes should be made to timebands and programme classifications on free-to-air television and want to hear what you think.
We will be holding a public meeting in Christchurch where you can get more information and ask questions. It will be on Wednesday 22 August at Christchurch Community House from 10.30am-12.30pm, please register on our website if you plan to attend.
You can also find out what is being considered and give your feedback through our 5-10-minute online survey.
Email us at info@bsa.govt.nz or visit the website for more information.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
