Minister requests update on TV licensing procedure by regulator

Digital Policy, Telecommunications and Information Minister Nikos Pappas asked the National Council for Radio and Television (NCRTV) for an “immediate” update on the TV licensing tender the body is expected to announce, noting the broadcasting sector lacks legality.

In his letter to the televising regulator, Pappas asks the body to specify the number of the licenses that will be auctioned off, the starting price and the analytical timetable for the publication of the tender. 
He also notes the response is necessary “to put an end to the illegal operation of television channels which are broadcasting without having paid a financial compensation to the State.”
The minister had sent a similar letter to NCRTV on January 30, 2017.
