-Sharma summoned to meeting with Luncheon
Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr Roger Luncheon yesterday wrote to CN Sharma inviting the television station owner to meet with him tomorrow at the Office of the President to show cause why his licence shouldn’t be cancelled or suspended for alleged infringements on air.
A caller to Sharma’s Voice of the People programme made explosive comments during an airing on February 21, 2008, leading to the Advisory Committee on Broadcasting (ACB) writing to Sharma on February 26, 2008. Sharma then apologized in writing on February 28 and the ACB accepted this and said there would be no further action. The ACB wrote Sharma again on March 10, 2008, reprimanding him on the rebroadcast of the offending programme on February 22 and 23 based on complaints it had received from the public.
