BEIJING, Oct. 12 (Xinhua) -- Televisions on buses in Beijing will no longer be allowed to broadcast commercials about anorectal diseases in the morning hours - for fear of putting passengers off their breakfast.

The Beijing municipal bureau for radio, film and television announced the ruling after some passengers complained that some of the adverts "made them sick".

Given some passengers eat their breakfast during the morning rush hour, these adverts will not be broadcast between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. so passengers' appetites will not be ruined, the bureau said.

About 5,000 buses are equipped with mobile TV in Beijing, according to Beijing All Media & Culture Group, the only mobile TV operator approved by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television in the capital.

Including those in taxis, government cars and on the light railway, Beijing has a mobile TV network of more than 16,000 screens, reaching an audience of 4.5 million people daily.

The bureau said promotional programs for the Olympics will be added soon and news and entertainment programs will be increased. Enditem
