I understand that and emphasise that they were eligible for all the other supports and availed of the horizontal supports. Sound and vision is a vehicle for funding broadcast media and that is set out in statute by the BAI so it cannot fund print under the current legal structure. That points to the importance of the Future of Media Commission and the policy of Government to embrace the whole media sector, recognising the pressures that local and national media are under in a changed media environment.
