As OFCOM should be cautious with what they post or highlight on the internet depending on what audience views the programme, I think the broadcasting code's part on crime is crucial. In addition, particularly considering how some subjects, like a recent murder, can provoke moral terror among an audience. 4) Do you agree with OFCOM that Channel 4 was wrong to broadcast 'Wolverine' at 6.55pm on a Sunday evening?
