✨ Broadcasting Directive
15 NOVEMBER THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE 4947
(h) Make it a condition of each television warrant granted in
respect of a television station that services a region or part
of a region and which is granted to a person (other than
the Corporation) that the holder of the warrant make
adequate provision for the broadcasting from that television
station by an independent news company (acting under the
authority of a television programme warrant) of a news
programme covering national news, international news, and
current affairs; and
(5) In pursuance of that policy, direct that you shall, in carrying
out the direction contained in clause (4), note that—
(a) It is envisaged that where, as part of network linking and
transmission services, it is necessary to co-site equipment
of a holder of a warrant in respect of a private television
station with equipment of the Broadcasting Corporation
of New Zealand and difficulties arise between the holder
of the warrant and the Corporation in establishing a
mutually acceptable co-siting agreement, the difficulties
should be settled by arbitration; and
(b) I am prepared to give my permission, under section 70 (3) of
the Broadcasting Act 1976, to the issue of the television
warrants and the television programme warrants required
to implement that policy.
Dated this 15th day of November 1984.
JONATHAN HUNT, Minister of Broadcasting.
