Kazakhstan: new law on TV and radio broadcasting

The Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan “On television and radio broadcasting” has been adopted by Senate today. Introducing the draft law, Vice Minister of Communication and Information Lyazzat Tanysbai said the document was aimed at developing Kazakhstan’s television and radio broadcasting and increasing the availability of programme services for the population.

The draft law provides a 100 percent access for Kazakhstan’s population to digital television and radio broadcasting. According to the draft law, an authorized agency will keep records of foreign and domestic TV and radio channels. The draft law contains provisions to protect children and adolescents from television, which can harm the mental and moral development.
