<div>As I indicated in my earlier post, we have developed a programme code which we shall subject to stakeholder consultation once the matter pending in the courts is determined. The programme code sets the watershed period during which only content meant for
general viewership/ listenership can be aired. </div>

<div>There was a proposal a while back by CCK to have a program code for broadcast stations. It had recommended a watershed for such content. Not sure what became of it. Maybe CCK can give us a status update.
