Wharf Cable would be advised that a music video containing violence sequences should have been advertised as not suitable for children in both the programme guide and on screen prior to its broadcast.
The Broadcasting Authority also decided to advise ATV, in connection with a lucky draw contest for the programme "The Most Popular TV Commercial Awards Live", to observe more closely the provision in the Television Ordinance that the results of a television contest should be determined by the skill or knowledge of the participants and not by chance.
At yesterday's meeting, the Broadcasting Authority also gave approval for Wharf Cable Ltd. to establish a wholly-owned subsidiary, to be known as "New Television Ltd.", to produce and distribute programmes as well as to develop new channels for Wharf Cable.

Trade Department to review need for additional rice stockholders at year end
The Trade Department said today (Friday) there was no urgent need to register any new rice stockholders upon the de-registration of a stockholder in January this year but the department would review the position at the end of this year.
During the annual renewal of registration of stockholders for the year ending December 31, 1995, the stockholder, Kian Gwan Co (China) Ltd, had informed the department that it did not wish to renew its registration.
A spokesman for the department explained that imports of rice were subject to a control scheme, to ensure a regular and adequate supply and to maintain a reserve stock for emergency purposes.
