My interpretation of what was said in the Chamber that day is that big decisions need to be made given the complexities of what is involved regarding who would fund the licence fee. There are other aspects also. The committee has discussed extensively the fact we have a separate sound and vision fund for local radio but no such fund for local print media, which is on its knees. This will form part of the report. We would like an opportunity to discuss it and see where our media would go in future.
