National Community Radio Forum, PSB Bill submission
This submission is based on resolutions passed at the NCRF’s Bi-Annual General Meeting held in Upington, Northern Cape in December 2009. The BGM was attended by 70 member stations and service organisations.
The submission also draws on the resolutions taken at the NCRF’s Policy Reflection workshop held in October 2009. The NCRF, in support of the DoC’s efforts to bring out legislative reform, and in partnership with the SOS Coalition: Supporting Public Broadcasting; have engaged in a campaign to encourage community radio stations to make individual submissions and for these stations to run public awareness programmes on the proposed Bill through the production of materials and the provision of support.
This is in recognition of the principle that citizen participation in the legislative process is incredibly important. Individual submissions are attached as annexure to this representation. The NCRF would like to stress that public involvement and consultation should not be short-circuited. The following Stations contributed to this submission: - Vukani Radio - Radio Laeveld Submission - Voice of Wits Submission - Fine Music FM - Panorama FM
