Does IBI get any other supports apart from funding from Sound and Vision? The delegates mentioned the levy. What percentage of income is it for a local radio station? Could it be €60,000 or €70,000 a year? If there are no supports and the IBI is paying that kind of money and it has 34 stations, the State is benefiting from local radio rather than supporting it. Is that IBI's assumption?
We are dealing with cyber-bullying, anonymous texts, etc., so is there a policy in local radio for dealing with anonymous e-mails and texts?
