Fiji Television Limited’s six months broadcast license is coming to an end on Sunday and the board has applied for the extension of their license.
Chairman Padam Lala said the formal application has been sent to the government and they are waiting for a reply.
Lala said the final decision on the period of extension will be made by the government.
In a letter dated 13th December 2012 to Fiji TV, Communications Minister Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum stated that the extension will be “until further notice of any additional terms and conditions, including spectrum allocation, that may be prescribed, Fiji TV Limited shall continue to broadcast under the terms and conditions contained in the existing license for the extended period”.
Meanwhile, major restructuring is expected to take place at Fiji Television Limited.
Lala said the restructuring will take place within the management level but they first need to have a plan.
He also said that the restructuring will not affect the current workers at Fiji TV.
