Media ministry of sri Lanka announced today that all media institutes
who have TV radio licenses should starts their transmission within 45
days. Media ministry have given more than 46 TV and Radio license(
including 15 TV license) within last six years and most of the license
given with in last couple of years. Secretary of the media ministry Mr.
Ganegala told that some of these License owners not yet started their
media institutes and some owners trying to sell their license even to
the government media. Further he says media ministry has every right to
take back issued license when the license owner sell the license to
another person or group and there is a danger of going these license to
the wrong hands.
As we believe in this decision there is a good side and bad side. Good
side is from this decision government can stop the transactions or
control the transactions of TV radio license. Government should know
and government has every right know who owns the licenses and what are
they doing. As national security point of view this is a good decision.
But few questions to be asked.
Is this threat to CBNSat again?
Is this order just for stop changing hands of comet cable? (Buyer is
still not sure some says Srilakvahini, but we are not sure) Or find
frequencies to issue new license?
What ever now we are making a list of license owners (who have
permission to operate TV radio in Sri Lanka) and we will bring a
complete list within next few days...
