NCN, Hits and Jams say up do date with broadcast fees

The state-owned National Communications Network (NCN) and Hits and Jams Entertainment say they are both up to date with their financial obligations to the Guyana National Broadcasting Authority (GNBA) and are not among stations to be taken off the air for fees owed.

In response to a Kaieteur News (KN) report yesterday listing them among other stations to be taken off the air “soon” for fees owed, NCN and Hits and Jam both said they were up to date with their financial obligations for all of 2017.

The KN report quoted GNBA Board Chairman Leslie Sobers as saying that he decided against publishing the list of all non-compliant broadcasters and instead gave the newspapers a list of those he deemed compliant.
