Govt told to replace TVRI directors

JAKARTA: House of Representatives Commission I for defense and information urged the government on Wednesday to replace all executive directors of the state television station, TVRI, for their lackluster performance.

In a meeting with State Minister for Communications and Information Syamsul Muarif here, the commission said to save TVRI, the government needed to replace the executive directors with new ones who have a good track record in the country's oldest television station.

The new management of TVRI should then adjust its programs with the newly promulgated Law No. 32/2002 on broadcasting, the commission said.

The commission noted that the state television station's management had failed to solve internal conflicts. --Antara
