Foreign Languages on Radio to be Regulated
The Indonesian Broadcasting Commission (KPI) will regulate the use of foreign languages in radio programs.
This is because up to now no such regulation has yet been made.
Currently, the government only regulates the use of foreign languages on television.
M. Izzul Muslimin, a KPI member, said that there were possibilities that the use of foreign languages in radio programs will be the same as for television, that is 30 percent.
“However, perhaps there will be special criteria for radio stations that broadcast programs in foreign languages, for instance Indonesian radio programs specially broadcasted,” said Izzul yesterday (5/6).
It is expected that the regulation will be completed soon and that it does not deviate from the material in the Broadcasting Decree.
