No. 197

Dated at Wellington this 23rd day of October 1985.

Neither could the combination of the United FM service from Kapiti and the Capital City AM service from Levin be sustained by available revenue in the region. A more modest FM application based on a lower revenue input with lower hours of origination may have some appeal in the future.

An argument put to us is appropriately considered under this heading. It relates to the effect of Regulation 20 of the Broadcasting Regulations 1977. It was argued that one shareholder of Capital City Radio Ltd (Brierley Investments) had the maximum number of prescribed interests allowed under the regulations and that the grant of another one would be impossible. It was submitted for Capital City Radio that the Tribunal should deal with the matter on its merits and if necessary get Capital City Radio to consider a different structure which would not offend the regulations.

However, we have been able to make our decision on the merits of the applications and the various factors involved, rather than on the basis of whether or not there is a legal bar. In any event the Tribunal would have had to consider the request by Capital City Radio mentioned above. We would also have had to decide the effects of extending the interests of that shareholder.

The Tribunal has concluded that the application of Radio Horowhenua Ltd. should be granted and the other applications declined.

In spite of the evidence of Mr Rayner about the twin studio approach, we are satisfied the successful applicant will serve the region well and efficiently. The duplication of Radio New Zealand programming was a factor we gave considerable weight to, but nevertheless found overall this proposal the most suitable.

The application will be granted on the following conditions:

1. The warrant will lapse if not issued within 18 months or such later period as may be allowed by the Tribunal.

2. The station may network with Radio New Zealand stations.

3. A limit of 15 percent on news media shareholdings.

4. Minimum hours of origination will be as applied for. The increased hours will apply from the beginning of year two.

5. Other usual conditions.

Dated the 4th day of October 1985.

Signed for the Tribunal:

A. E. WILSON, Member.
