Details

Status[?]: defeated

Voting deadline: November 2349
Description[?]:
| The three main commercial television networks Network 7, Network 11, and Network 2, have been slowly cutting back educational and informational television and radio programs for children over the past decade, while we respect their right to cater to what demographics ratings demand, we believe that the Endralonian Broadcasting Service should be reformed to provide educational and informational television and radio 24hrs a day. This new Public television service will not directly compete with the three commercial networks in terms of programming, but will only put our quality children's programming during the day, and quality informational and current affairs programing in the evening. The television license shall be on programming band Network 8, EBS National Radio EBS National Broadcasting "Network 8" |
