In spring, 2007 the Library of Congress Cataloging Policy and Support Office (now the Policy and Standards Division) embarked on a project to create authority records for genre/form headings in the areas of moving images (films, television programs, and video recordings) and radio programs.  To date, over 500 genre/form headings have been approved for use.

The Motion Picture, Broadcasting and Recorded Sound Division (MBRS) will begin using the new LC genre/form headings on January 1, 2009; as of that date, terms from the Moving Image Genre-Form Guide (MIGFG), Moving Image Materials: Genre Terms (MIM), and the Radio Form/Genre Guide (RADFG) will no longer be used in new LC cataloging.
