In a communiqué at the end of its 38th General Assembly held in Plateau State, BON described the situation as unfortunate and expressed solidarity with the management and staff of the station. It expressed concern over the about three billion naira being owed member stations and resolved to produce a code of practice so as to bring professionalism into the relationship between members and advertisers/agencies.  It mandated its debt management committee to compile an industry debt profile of debt owed members which would be published in the drive to get the debt settled. The general assembly urged all members to always support BON’s effort to acquire broadcast rights for the transmission of international events which would enhance the success of joint coverage and transmission of such events. It expressed displeasure that stations which refused to pay their share of the broadcast rights levy for the Athens 2004 Olympic Games went ahead to hook up to the signals calling on them to pay their share of the levy. BON threatened to take legal action against stations which operated outside BON’s umbrella during the games if they failed to pay the levy and the proceeds from the advertisements transmitted during the games. It resolved to lead the campaign for peaceful co-existence and harmonious relationship among Nigerians in consonance with the functions of the mass media and broadcasting in particular. It thanked the Plateau Radio Television Corporation for successfully hosting the 38th general assembly and decided that the next assembly be held in Port Harcourt, Rivers State in the first quarter of next year.   Home  |  Cover Stories  |  National Newsreel  |  Politics  |  Business  |  Sports  |  World  | Contact  | Advert Rates © 1998- 2004.
