Challenges Facing the Broadcasting Sector as a Result of Covid-19: Discussion
Mr. John Purcell:
The difficulty we face is that our biggest competitors are not newspapers but online media. Just as is the case with content, the regulations governing online advertising are as nothing compared with radio. Colleagues have probably seen examples of bogus advertising where well-known public figures appear to endorse products online. Try that on a radio station and you will be closed down within a week.
