TV contribution

TV contribution

Now that we are all in the spirit of reform, I call on the director general of radio, television and film and the minister of information to abolish the monthly contribution fees of state TV station TVRI. In view of the long-dragging economic crisis, TVRI must be financially independent and start airing commercials and must, therefore, stop collecting TVRI contribution fees.

It is now time for TVRI to compete with private TV stations and stop burdening the public, especially in this period of economic difficulty. It must be borne in mind that not all TV viewers watch TVRI.

Let me appeal, therefore, to the director general of radio, television and film and the minister of information to immediately issue a decision/decree terminating the collection of TVRI monthly contribution fees.
