Broadcasting charge to be introduced in 2015

 

Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources Pat Rabbitte has published proposals to replace the current television licence fee with a public service broadcasting charge.
The new charge will apply to every household and will come into effect on 1 January 2015.
It will not exceed the current television licence fee of €160.
The minister will also be bringing forward new legislation to revise governance arrangements for the amount of advertising all broadcasters - public and commercial - are allowed to broadcast.
This could involve a cap in the number of minutes of advertising per hour that public service broadcasters are allowed to transmit.
He will be commencing a public consultation process on how the new public service broadcasting charge will be applied and collected.
