Radio Telefís Éireann - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The first voice broadcast of 2RN, the original radio callsign for Radio 1, took place on November 14, 1925 when Seamus Clandillon, the 2RN station director said, "Seo Raidió 2RN, Baile Átha Cliath ag tástáil", meaning "This is Radio 2RN, Dublin testing". Broadcasting in Ireland began in 1926 with 2RN in Dublin. From that date, until June 1960, the broadcasting service (2RN, then later Radio Éireann) operated as a section of the Department of Posts and Telgraphs, and those working for the service were directly employed by the Irish Government and regarded as civil servants. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/RT%c3%89   (2375 words)

ITV - Open Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10) The Broadcasting Act 1990 paved the way for the deregulation of the British commercial broadcasting industry, which was to have many consequences for the ITV system. The Independent Broadcasting Authority was abolished, and was replaced by two new "light-touch" regulators: Independent Television Commission (otherwise known as the ITC) and the Radio Authority. The relaxation in the franchise ownership rules as a result of the 1990 Act meant that mergers between ITV companies were now possible (even more after the Broadcasting Act 1996, which relaxed the rules even further). open-encyclopedia.com /ITV   (2878 words)

New Statesman: Manifesto for a new media age - politicians' role in the British communications industry   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10) The Broadcasting Act of 1990, which introduced competitive bidding for ITV licences, saw TV-am lose its franchise to the upstart GMTV, sending Gyngell, he of the trademark pink shirts, scurrying back to Australia, clutching an apologetic note from Mrs Thatcher. Government tinkering hasn't worked well: the 1990 reforms were outdated before the ink was dry, outpaced by the astonishing growth of satellite TV and circumvented in some cases by clever lawyers. Even the recently implemented Broadcasting Act of 1996 has drawn mixed reviews from the very people who had lobbied so vociferously for it ("The act of 1996 is an excellent piece of legislation, for 1992," says one chief executive). www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m0FQP/is_n4310_v125/ai_19124710   (1350 words)

Religious broadcasters were prevented from doing that, and also had to re-apply for their analogue licenses when their original terms expired. The strengthening of the place of religion, with emphasis on the ingredients of religious broadcasting (news, information, history and worship) in the PSB remit, marked 'a sea change from the regime under the 1990 and 1996 Broadcasting Acts. www.churchesmediacouncil.org.uk /cmec/commsact/comms_act.htm   (1368 words)

Last check: 2007-10-10) Channel 4 nominally broadcasts only in England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland; in Wales, its equivalent is S4C, which broadcasts a mix of Channel 4 programming along with Welsh language programmes. The 1990 Broadcasting Act [2] altered the organisation of Channel 4, transforming it into a public corporation with a board partly appointed by the new Independent Television Commission.

Banned Med TV’s licence was suspended on 22 March by the ITC under Section 45A of the 1990 Broadcasting Act, following four broadcasts which included inflammatory statements encouraging acts of violence in Turkey and elsewhere. Med TV have been given many opportunities to be a peaceful voice for their community; to allow them to continue broadcasting after such serious breaches would be to condone the misuse of the UK’s system for licensing broadcasters. Section 6 of the Broadcasting Act 1990 requires the ITC to ensure that programmes do not include material which is likely to encourage or incite to crime or to lead to disorder. www.med-tv.com /Banned/banned.html   (824 words)
