AROI floats advisory committee for content code

MUMBAI: The Association of Radio Operators of India (AROI) has formed an advisory committee for the creation of a self-regulatory Content Code for private FM radio broadcasting. AROI`s draft guidelines for the self-regulatory Content Code would be presented to the Committee instituted by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting for consideration while formulating the report on the Content Code to the Central Government, says a release. The I&B ministry had constituted a committee to review the existing Programme and Advertising Code in October 2005. This Committee, consisting of representatives of Broadcast organizations, civil society groups and consumer forums compiled a draft Content Code for self-regulation. This Code was made available in the public domain for feedback from various stakeholders/ organizations. Broadcasters like Indian Broadcasting Foundation (IBF) and News Broadcasters` Association (NBA) since then have been engaged in framing a self-regulatory Content Code of their own. This recommended self-regulatory Content Code and grievance redressal mechanism would then be made available to the Ministry for consideration while formulating the report to the Central Government.
