The Independent Broadcasting Authority has developed new standards guidelines to follow by broadcasting stations failure to which they can be penalised, such as closure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In <\/a>this vein, the IBA has convened a meeting in Lusaka at which station managers of radio and television are being availed the guidelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the standards pertain to compliance in station content provision, adherence to programming, payment of licence fees, renewals, display of licences, engagement of security and suitable infrastructure for broadcasting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IBA board member Elizabeth Chanda says the regulator is avoiding to discriminate licencees in the handling of breaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms Chanda says IBA will avoid arbitrary decision-making which can result in double standards when handling cases which can lead to injustice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new standard guidelines have been developed in accordance with Section 5 sub-paragraph 2 of the IBA Act which mandates the Authority to set standards and licensing conditions and enforce compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the past, some stations such as Prime and Muvi TV have suffered closure for allegedly breaching the licence conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
