One of the Broadcasting Commission’s
main functions is to recommend to the Minister of Information which
applicants should receive licences to operate broadcast radio and
television and subscriber television services. It also recommends
the terms and conditions under which those licences should be
granted and renewed. Applicants for licences are expected to meet
certain programming, technical and financial standards and be able
to provide a satisfactory level of customer service. Once the
Commission is convinced that an applicant can adequately staff and
operate the service according to the Television and Sound
Broadcasting Regulations, a recommendation is made to the Minister
of information who then decides whether a licence should be granted.
