  Broadcasting Authority Malta - Broadcasting in Malta: From Monopoly to Diversity   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Broadcasting is not the same as publishing or film production, not entirely an entertainment medium, not wholly a method of education and not solely a vehicle for the sale of goods.
The Malta Broadcasting Authority, composed of five members of whom one was nominated by the Archbishop and another by the Rector of the University of Malta, was appointed by virtue of Ordinance XX of 1961 which came into force on 29 September 1961.

In writing its epitaph for ABS, Broadcasting noted a paucity of “practical broadcasting brains” in the organization and, referring to an earlier editorial, continued that “we predicted the project was doomed unless experienced broadcasting executives took hold.

It rejected strict determinate sentencing because it concluded that a guideline system would be successful in reducing sentence disparities while retaining the flexibility needed to adjust for unanticipated factors arising in a particular case.
