TV Channels Flay Govt For Change Of Rule Regarding License Renewal

New Delhi, Oct 8: Leading electronic channels today criticised the government for a change in the rule regarding renewal of licenses for TV channels.

The Broadcast Editors’ Association (BEA) alleged the union cabinet decision that channels found guilty of violating Programme and Advertisement Code on five occasions or more would not be eligible for renewal of licenses was aimed at controlling the media.

Channels have to renew their licenses after every ten years.

Government sources, however, downplayed the BEA concerns claiming there were provisions in existing laws under which action could be taken against channels even for a single violation.
