Report on Metro mid-term review hearing published

The Broadcasting Authority has published a report on the public hearing for the mid-term review of the licence of Metro Broadcasting Corporation Limited.

The hearing was held last December to gather public opinion on the performance of the licensee as a reference to evaluate its performance during the licenced period.

It also served to provide a public forum where the licensee could explain, and be questioned as to their past performance and future plans.
