TV licence mid-term review results announced
The following is issued on behalf of the Broadcasting Authority:
The Broadcasting Authority (BA) today (Thursday) announced the results of a mid-term review of the licences of ATV and TVB.
The Chairman of BA, Sir Roger Lobo, said at a press conference: "We have completed a survey into people's viewing habits; conducted three public hearings at which the public was invited along to tell us what they thought about the performance of ATV and TVB.
"We have met with the licensees themselves, as well as other interested parties such as Legislative Council and our own public advisers, and gathered a lot of statistical information on the performance of the licensees," he said.
In the course of the review, the BA has received a tremendous amount of feedback, information and co-operation and has been able to conclude its review and make its recommendations on time.
Sir Roger said: "Our recommendations have been endorsed by the Governor-in-Council and we will now move to implement the changes to the licences and codes of practice as expeditiously as possible.
