Jordanian government permits private media
Jordan, Politics, 7/6/2000
The Jordanian government has taken an important step towards permitting the private sector to establish private TV and radio stations in the Kingdom.
The Jordanian minister of information Taleb al-refaa said in conclusion of a session for the Jordanian Cabinet that the Cabinet had made an amendment on the law of the Jordanian TV and radio establishment which used to give this establishment the right to monopoly TV and radio broadcasting inside the Kingdom and availed itself the chance to offer licenses to local and foreign investors to set up private TV and radio stations according to precise and definite specifications.
During his meeting on Thursday with foreign correspondents, al-refaa said the Jordanian government will permit the establishment of radio and TV stations to " break the monopoly of the official mass media."
