0

Committee Recommendations.

         The Committee recommends the following;

1.    That local Commercial Radio Stations must be properly secured with state security comprising soldiers and police by March 2018.

2.    The Ministry of Information, Media and Broadcasting Services before 31st March 2018 should engage the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe, on behalf of the radio stations to ensure that they are prioritized in foreign currency allocations.

3.    The local commercial radio stations licences by 31st March 2018 should be upgraded to provincial commercial radio stations that broadcast throughout their respective provinces to expand their market base as well to cover some of the areas that do not have transmission.

4.    The Ministry of Information, Media and Broadcasting Services should intervene on behalf of radio stations to ensure that they are allocated prime land where they can build their own buildings before 31st March 2018.

5.    That local commercial radio stations should strive to broadcast in all the languages that are spoken in a particular province by 31st March 2018.

6.    BAZ should re-advertise in the other areas that previously failed to secure licence as there could be others who are interested in registering commercial radio stations. This should be done by 31st March 2018.  Thank you Madam Speaker.
