On Saturdays, CBS's "Bugs Bunny-Roadrunner Show" averages 50 violent acts per hour, over twice the Saturday morning average, it says.

American Cynamid Company, maker of Breck, Pine-Sol, and Old Spice, was listed as sponsor of the most violent prime-time shows, with 63 percent of its ads on high-violence programs. General Mills sponsors the most violence on Saturday mornings, with 78 percent of its ads on high-violence programs, NCTV said.

The group was formed to try to reduce television portrayal of violence.
