	Independent Television - Search View - MSN Encarta
		Commercial broadcasting in the Midlands and the North was delayed by the failure of a Post Office proposal that ITA transmitter aerials could be placed on BBC masts, on the grounds that the new ITA aerials would be impossible to accommodate structurally.
		Within weeks the IBA, led by Director-General Sir Brian Young, had arrived at the concept of a channel that would buy its programmes; would have a responsibility to embrace minority interests; and would be required to be innovative, educational, and not to duplicate the type of programmes broadcast on ITV.
		The IBA processes that had led to these changes were criticized in the press and within the industry as unnecessarily secretive and apparently arbitrary.

	Independent Television Authority - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The physics of VHF broadcasting meant that a comparatively small number of transmitters could cover the majority of the population of Britain, if not the bulk of the area of the country.
		The Sound Broadcasting Act 1972 gave the ITA responsibility for organising commercial radio in the UK, and reconstituted the ITA as the Independent Broadcasting Authority (IBA).
		The IBA was subsequently replaced by the Independent Television Commission (ITC) under the provisions of the Broadcasting Act 1990, which itself was replaced by the Office of Communications (Ofcom) at the end of 2003.

		The IBA Act introduced, to a certain extent, a separation of powers in that the IBA became responsible for the formulation of broadcasting policy and for the regulation of broadcasting activities.
		The IBA was also mandated to supervise the expansion and diversification of the broadcasting industry by means of the privatisation of some of the SABC’s sound broadcasting services and by means of the licensing of new sound and television broadcasting services.
		A substantial part of the Broadcasting Act is devoted to the restructuring of the SABC and, in particular, its conversion from a statutory body into a public company of which the state is the sole shareholder.

	Independent Broadcasting Authority - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Independent Broadcasting Authority (IBA) was the regulatory body in the United Kingdom for commercial television (ITV and Channel 4 - cable and satellite television were the responsibility of the Cable Authority) and radio broadcasts.
		The IBA came into being when the Sound Broadcasting Act 1972 gave the Independent Television Authority responsibility for organising the new Independent Local Radio (ILR) stations.
		It was disbanded in 1990, being replaced by the Independent Television Commission (ITC), the Broadcasting Standards Commission (BSC) and the Radio Authority (RAu), which have since been replaced with one regulator, Ofcom.

		It is anchored on the provisions of the South African Constitution and the Independent Broadcasting Authority Act of 1993 and its provisions for the regulation of broadcasting in the public interest in South Africa.
		Broadcasting policy discussions must, on the one hand, focus on facilitating a move away from the legacy of the past, and attempt to forge a broadcasting system that treats all South African citizens equitably, responding to their needs.
		Broadcasting policy must help the broadcasting system contribute its fair share to the national economy, and economic contribution must be reflective of the gender and racial demographics of the South African population.

		The Independent Broadcasting Authority (IBA) in South Africa was represented at the workshop and presented its experiences as an independent regulatory body with a mandate to ensure equal access to broadcasting.
		While the IBA is still undergoing teething problems, South Africa is a good example of a government that is interested in the democratisation of the media through ensuring equal access to all groups in society.
		As the broadcasting sectors in some countries in the region ore still monopolized by the state, the aim is to lobby for changes in any legislation either specifically or implicitly disallowing independent broadcasting, whether commercial or community in nature.

	CONSTITUTION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Broadcasters are reminded that children as defined in paragraph 3 above embraces a wide range of maturity and sophistication, and in interpreting this Code it is legitimate for licensees to distinguish, if appropriate, those approaching adulthood from a much younger, pre-teenage audience.
		Broadcasters must be particularly sensitive to the likelihood that programmes which start during the watershed period and which run beyond it may then be viewed by children.
		Insofar as both news and comment are concerned, broadcasting licensees shall exercise exceptional care and consideration in matters involving the private lives and private concerns of individuals, bearing in mind that the right to privacy may be overridden by a legitimate public interest.

	Lords Hansard text for 22 Jul 1997 (170722-13)
		In Scotland and Wales what normally happens in political broadcasting of every kind, including discussion programmes and radio and television news programmes, is that the broadcasters attempt, often on the same programme, to give balance and to have the four political parties in both countries represented.
		Broadcasters should be encouraged to provide a limited amount of airtime for setting out the arguments for each option in the referendum".
		Party political broadcasts were under discussion in that case and your Lordships might be interested to know that the Wilson referred to was then a vigorous campaigner on the "No" side.

		We are in favour of the setting up of independent local radio licensed by an independent authority to be established under stringent conditions by legislation giving safeguards to the public and financial safeguards to RTE.
		The Bill does not eliminate the possibility of such an independent authority being set up, but until such time as we are satisfied that the Government intend to set up an independent authority we will vote against the Bill strictly on those grounds and not on financial considerations as outlined in section 2.
		In areas where there is local broadcasting run by the BBC competing against local broadcasting run by stations licensed under the Independent Broadcasting Authority it seems to be the case that the independent stations have a greater listening audience and are providing a more popular service.

		Reith gave rise to the original conception of the principle of public service broadcasting "to inform, educate and entertain." Public Service Broadcasting is a much debated principle and includes attitudes about the responsibility to be objective and balanced when reporting events in news, current affairs and documentary programmes.
		Independent television broadcasters were also required to provide fair, objective and balanced reporting in news, current affairs and documentary programmes.
		There was a proliferation of new small independent production companies, fuelled by the Channel Four commissions, and the 1990 Broadcasting Bill that required both the BBC and ITV companies to commission at least 25% of their programmes from independent producers by 1993.

	How to Complain About Radio and Television Broadcasters (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Independent Broadcasting Authority (IBA) is a body, appointed by Parliament under Act 153 of 1993, which is responsible for the regulation of all radio and television broadcasters in South Africa.
		It also requires broadcasters to provide balanced and impartial news coverage, and to allow parties which are criticised on its programmes the right to reply to that criticism.
		As regards the misuse of divine names and the showing of obscene scenes from later programmes during the time children could be viewing, the bottom line is that it is up to the religious communities to get their own members active in protesting to the station concerned and to the advertisers who sponsor such programmes.
