RTC — Mexico

Mexico's content classification is issued by the RTC (Dirección General de Radio, Televisión y Cinematografía), a government agency under SEGOB.

Rating tiers

Tier Meaning
AA Understandable for children under 7
A All audiences
B Adolescents 12 and over
B15 15 and over
C Adults 18 and over
D Adult / extreme content

Only C and D legally restrict admission; AA through B15 are informative parental guidance.

Ratings gate broadcast time

A distinctive feature of the Mexican system: tiers also determine when content may air on TV and radio — higher-rated content is confined to later broadcast windows. For advertisers this makes the rating a scheduling constraint, not just a label.
