MediaNama invites subscribers to attend its briefing call on the Broadcasting Bill and online streaming. Subscribers will receive an invite. Subscribe here to be eligible to attend. On November 10, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB) released a draft for the Broadcasting Services Regulation Bill, 2023.
