Illustration for Broadcasting Act 1989

You need to know about approvals given before 1 July 1989. These approvals were given by the Broadcasting Tribunal under the Broadcasting Regulations 1977. They will still be valid as if the Minister gave them under Part 5. You should understand that the Minister can withdraw these approvals at any time. The Minister can also change the conditions of these approvals. This means the Minister can revoke, vary, or add to the conditions at any time. The approvals will continue as if the Minister gave them under the corresponding provision of Part 5, which is found in the Part 5 section.
