Radio show broke rules

A community radio station has been found to have breached broadcasting legislation over a radio programme concerning the Arab-Israeli conflict.

Cork City Community Radio failed to counterbalance pro-Israeli views expressed in an edition of the programme Rebel Radio which was broadcast on November 16 last.

Responding to a complaint taken on behalf of the Cork branch of the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign, the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland found the station should not have allowed views expressed by a representative of the organisation Irish4Israel to go unchallenged.
