Northern TV allowed advts on Fridays

Northern Television had been granted its application for advertising on its Friday morning shows, said the chairman, Mr Michael Horton, yesterday. Until now. Friday has been a commercial-free day on Television New Zealand. Northern Television will begin its “Good Morning" week-day , magazine programme on TVI on Monday, and had applied to the Broadcasting Tribunal for permission to run advertisements during the hour-long show on Fridays. In its decision, the tribunal

approved the broadcasting of commercials on Fridays for up to 11 minutes an hour between 11 a.m. and noon until December 17, on the condition that the Broadcasting Corporation stops advertising for an hour a week at a time which it now regularly broadcasts commercials. “The tribunal is satisfied that the ‘Good Morning’ programme will provide an increase in local programming in substitution for imported programmes and that is in the public interest,” the tribunal said in its decision.
