Committee to investigate Manx Radio

Wednesday, 17 January 2018 06:42

Last review brought to Tynwald four years ago

A new Tynwald Select Committee is to review the future provision and funding of Manx Radio.

Members of the court last night voted to look into the Island's public service broadcast offering.

The last review of its kind was brought to Tynwald four years ago.

Dr Alex Allinson, Juan Watterson and Tim Crookall will lead the committee.

Garff member Daphne Caine, who brought forward the proposals, was not selected.

Policy and Reform Minister Chris Thomas also confirmed he and colleagues were progressing discussions to obtain a greater degree of licence fee-funded coverage from the BBC.
