A new national survey by the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation finds that 60 percent of parents are "very concerned" about the amount of sex and violence their children are exposed to on TV. At the same time, only a small percentage of parents use the content-blocking technology called the V-Chip that's built into most newer televisions. The survey also found that parents are more concerned about inappropriate content on television than on the Internet.

Guest: Vicky Rideout, vice president and director of the Kaiser Family Foundation's Program for the Study of Entertainment Media and Health
