Before the Broadcasting Tribunal

Decision No. 5/85

Bro. 123/84

In the matter of the Broadcasting Act 1976, and in the matter of an application by the BROADCASTING CORPORATION OF NEW ZEALAND for renewal of warrant AM-61/42W, (Oamaru):

Chairman: B. H. Slane.
Member: A. E. Wilson.

Hearing: at Oamaru on 11 June 1985.
Counsel: J. B. Thomson, for the applicant.

Oral Decision

We have considered the application. The station in its 5 years has developed local hours of origination through 3 stages which were originally to be at the end of 12 months, 2 years and 4 years. It was the latter, the last stage which was deferred but now the station is broadcasting 8 hours a day Monday to Friday from Oamaru studios and 7 hours on Saturdays.

We understand the difficulties which can arise for such a station when it is linked to the economy of the area in which it is based and therefore its economic fortunes to some extent follow the fortunes of the district. We have been interested to learn from the Manager, Mr Woodard of the station’s programming. We advertised this application in the Press. The application itself was not opposed on the station and there have been no objections to the renewal.

This probably reflects the community involvement of the station which on the evidence we have appears to be close to the public it is here to serve. Therefore the situation at the end of the 5 years must be a cause for some pleasure on the part of the local management of the Corporation that this community involvement has occurred and the stage is serving the needs of this community.

We were concerned that, for a period, an amendment was not filed to permit the deferring of the final stage of development of local origination. In view of the very short period that was involved we do not intend to reflect the actual breach of the condition and undertaking given at the time of the grant of the warrant in our decision. The Corporation did in fact make the application which was subsequently granted.

We now understand that from March this year the station has achieved that which it had hoped it would achieve a little over a year earlier.

Nevertheless we would not like it to be thought that failure to comply with any promises made at the time of an application for whatever reason is a matter to be dealt with lightly and the fact that the application was made by the Corporation in due course recognises that attitude of the Tribunal.

The warrant will be renewed for a term of 5 years.

Signed for the Tribunal.

B. H. SLANE, Chairman.
