Pemra destroying radio broadcasting industry: PBA
KARACHI: In a strong
statement issued on Saturday, the Pakistan Broadcasters Association (PBA) has
condemned the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra) for what
it called attempting to destroy the radio broadcasting industry in the country
with its `highhanded tactics’.
“Pemra in a move to
fill its coffers with irrational levies has started collecting from private
radio broadcasters licence renewal fees, which is several multiple times more
of what they used to pay originally. This is also being done at a time when the
radio industry, specifically, and the media industry on the whole is going
through the worst economic crisis in its history,” the statement read.
