    Bill the Government to ban advertising on public television


    The Armenian government has approved an amendment to the law on
    television and radio in which the Armenian Public Television will not
    broadcast advertisements.

    According to the Minister of Justice Hray Tovmasyan, the measure would
    allow further time for free antenna that could be used to deliver
    higher emissions. He said that it is a practice accepted
    internationally.

    Under the bill, public television would be allowed to broadcast only
    social ads and provide information on the promoters of cultural and
    sports programs.

    Under current law, the airtime given to advertisements shall not
    exceed 7% of the airtime.
