TV rule pushing stars' kids off air

Producers of reality television shows in China have been adjusting programs that feature celebrities and their children after a directive from China's media regulator banning the exploitation of stars' children, an official said.

The move to keep kids out of reality television has been known since January, when the regulator informed the television companies of the decision.

Xinhua News Agency reported on Sunday that the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television said it will not approve reality shows in the future that use celebrities' children as stars.
