Communications Authority press release
**************************************
This press release summarises the decisions of the Communications Authority (CA) following its 110th meeting held in August 2021:
Broadcast complaints
--------------------
The CA considered two complaint cases in respect of a broadcaster's non-compliance with the Radio Code of Practice on Programme Standards (Radio Programme Code):
(a) A complaint against the radio programme "News Report" broadcast on August 15, 2020, on the Radio 1 channel of Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK). The CA took the view that the complaint was justified and that RTHK should be strongly advised to observe more closely the relevant provision in the Radio Programme Code; and
(b) Complaints against the radio programme "World Discovery" broadcast on April 3, 2021, on the Radio 1 channel of RTHK. The CA took the view that the complaints were justified and that RTHK should be warned to observe more closely the relevant provision in the Radio Programme Code.
Details of the above cases are at www.coms-auth.hk/filemanager/en/content_713/appx_20210819.pdf.
