Direction to Broadcasting Corporation of New Zealand in Connection with the Sound-radio Warrant in respect of Station IZM

To the Broadcasting Corporation of New Zealand

WHEREAS—

(a) The Minister of Broadcasting (by a notice which was dated the 27th day of October 1981* and which was given pursuant to section 68 (1) of the Broadcasting Act 1976) directed the Broadcasting Tribunal to call without delay for applications for sound-radio warrants in respect of 2 commercial frequency modulation (FM) broadcasting stations to be established in Auckland:

(b) The Broadcasting Tribunal has complied with that direction:

(c) One of the applicants for one of those sound-radio warrants is the Broadcasting Corporation of New Zealand:

(d) The Broadcasting Corporation of New Zealand already has 2 commercial amplitude modulation (AM) broadcasting stations established in Auckland, namely, station IZB and station IZM:

(e) Regulation 14A (3) of the Broadcasting Regulations 1977 (as inserted by regulation 4 of the Broadcasting Regulations 1977, Amendment No. 5) provides that where—

(a) An applicant for a sound-radio warrant in respect of a commercial frequency modulation broadcasting station or in respect of both a commercial frequency modulation broadcasting station and a commercial amplitude modulation broadcasting station is the holder of a sound-radio warrant in respect of a commercial amplitude modulation broadcasting station; and

(b) The Tribunal is satisfied that the frequency modulation station serves or will serve a significant proportion of the same area as the amplitude modulation broadcasting station,—

it shall, unless the Tribunal determines that there are special circumstances, be a condition of any warrant granted that the applicant surrender the warrant previously held in respect of the commercial amplitude modulation broadcasting station (whether or not the warrant granted authorises the operation of the commercial amplitude modulation broadcasting station):

(f) The Broadcasting Corporation of New Zealand, as the only holder of sound-radio warrants in respect of 2 commercial amplitude modulation (AM) broadcasting stations established in Auckland, is in an advantageous position in respect of its application for a sound-radio warrant in respect of a commercial frequency modulation (FM) broadcasting station to be established in Auckland in that the regulation quoted requires the Corporation to surrender its sound-radio warrant in respect of a commercial amplitude modulation (AM) broadcasting station only if the Corporation is granted a sound-radio warrant in respect of one of the 2 new frequency modulation (FM) commercial broadcasting stations to be established in Auckland:

NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to section 20 (1) of the Broadcasting Act 1976, I, Ian John Shearer, the Minister of Broadcasting—
