Decision No. 5/83
Bro 6/83

Before the Broadcasting Tribunal

IN the matter of the Broadcasting Act 1976, and in the matter of
an application by the Broadcasting Corporation of New Zealand
to amend its warrants (TV1—4 inclusive) for Television One in
respect of transmission commencement times:

Chairman: B. H. Slane.

Members: Lionel R. Sceats and Anne E. Wilson.

Hearing: Auckland, 17 February 1983.

Counsel: J. M. Thompson for Broadcasting Corporation of New
Zealand.

W. G. Manning for Alternative Television Network Ltd.

J. G. Miles for Northern Television Ltd.

APPLICATION

AN amendment to the following terms of the warrants, viz.:

Hours of transmission: Monday–Thursday 1030–2300 hours
Friday 1030–2400 hours
Saturday 0930–2400 hours
Sunday 1100–2300 hours

Hours during which Monday–Thursday 1030–2300 hours
advertising permitted: Saturday 0930–2400 hours

by deleting the said terms and substituting the following terms, viz.:

Hours of transmission: Monday–Thursday 1000–2300 hours
Friday 1000–2400 hours
Saturday 0800–2400 hours
Sunday 0900–2300 hours

Hours during which Monday–Thursday 1000–2300 hours
advertising permitted: Saturday 0800–2400 hours

ORAL DECISION

THE application by the BCNZ is in respect of 4 television warrants,
1, 2, 3, and 4 and known as Television One.

The effect is to start broadcasting earlier by 30 minutes on
weekdays, 90 minutes on Saturdays, and 2 hours on Sundays.

The reasons given for the application were that the weekday
proposals were in response to the demand for the reintroduction of
the Keep Fit series, that the earlier time for transmission on
Saturdays would allow the presentation of specialist children’s
programmes at a time convenient to its significant number of
younger viewers, that is prior to sports, chores, and other
traditional Saturday morning activities, and the system of hours on
Sunday morning would give the Corporation the opportunity to
present an additional religious programme.

It is also proposed to follow that with a 2-hour sports review
analysis programme. Evidence in detail of the proposals was given
by Mr D. J. Monaghan, the Controller of Programming, who
answered questions from the Tribunal.

The application of the factors of section 80 leads us to the
conclusion that the amendments are desirable and in the public
interest.

To grant them would not be contrary to Government policy,
since the applicant has undertaken to make an application to
amend the warrants to accommodate any television programme
warrants that may be granted. Indeed, that is contemplated by the
direction of the Minister of Broadcasting to the Corporation. We
see no reason to deprive viewers of the opportunity for increased
programme services in the meantime.

Contrary to the ATN submission there is not competing private
application for the Tribunal to consider now. The grant of this
application will not prejudice any private broadcaster granted a
warrant later for morning television.

The application is therefore granted, effective from 21 February
for weekdays and 22 April for Saturdays and Sundays. In each
warrant for Television One stations there will be endorsed this
condition:

The warrant holder shall apply for amendments to this warrant
to enable the broadcast of programmes pursuant to any television
programme warrants granted by the Tribunal.

Signed for the Tribunal.

B. H. SLANE, Chairman.
