Oz radio is re-regulated
Aussie officials find 119 code breaches
That's the outcome of an Australian Broadcasting Authority inquiry, which condemned radio stations for their "systemic failure to ensure the effective operation of the industry's self-regulatory code of practice" after uncovering 119 breaches of the code.
The inquiry stemmed from last year's "cash for comments" affair, in which talkradio hosts were found to have contravened radio codes through secret sponsorship contracts that influenced the content of their shows.
