Independent broadcasters want share of RTÉ’s €170m licence fee revenue
The Independent Broadcasters of Ireland (IBI) has called for a major overhaul of the licensing regime to allow independent television and radio stations gain funding from licence fee payments for their public service programming and to instill greater competition in the broadcasting industry here.
The organisation is looking for a single regulatory body to be established to oversee both the State- owned and commercial sectors, improve transparency and promote competition.
