I move amendment No. 1:
In page 6, between lines 26 and 27, to insert the following:
"‘community broadcaster' means a broadcaster which is or is owned by a non-for-profit entity, the structure of which provides for membership, management, operation and programming primarily by members of the community in question, the programming of which is based on community access and reflects the interests and needs of the community in question;".
We debated this amendment on Committee Stage. Essentially, I used a formula here used by the Independent Radio and Television Commission as a definition to cover community radio broadcasting. I merely seek to have the same model included in the Bill as it applies to television broadcasting. It is important there is a clear definition of what we are talking about. The amendment is self explanatory and I wish to hear whether the Minister has had a rethink on this issue since we discussed it on Committee Stage.
