Future of Public Service Broadcasting and Impact of Covid-19 on the Media Sector: Discussion
Mr. John Purcell:
I will follow up on the point about the sound and vision scheme. It is noteworthy that news, current affairs and regular programming that would be provided by many freelancers is specifically excluded from the scheme. The sound and vision scheme is largely used for dramas and documentaries and it is also noteworthy that the vast majority of it goes to television, which does not cover our people.
