Broadcasting body proposing lower fees for TV operators

The Guyana National Broadcasting Authority (GNBA) has recommended a new fee structure which will see a steep cut in the rate for television broadcasters and it is looking at all available options to recover $121M in licensing fees from delinquent operators.

At its first press conference for the year at its High Street, Kingston office, board director Victor Insanally said that the Authority will be meeting with the defaulters individually.

Insanally, a longtime radio announcer who heads the board’s Finance Committee, said that the Authority is continuing to evaluate how it will deal with this matter, particularly since a huge amount is owed.

He said before November last year attempts were made to speak to the defaulters.
