Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport

General Scheme of the Broadcasting (Amendment) Bill: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 am

Mr. John Purcell:

Not only that, but regarding the provision of additionality as it relates to the medium of radio, there is only a certain amount of time in the day. To provide additionality of coverage in radio, something else must be displaced, whereas, as I understand it, in newspapers, there is always the option to do additional pagination or add to the website. Air time is a finite resource, however.
