What are the key provisions of the guidelines?<\/b><\/h5>\n

Broadcast National Importance content:<\/b> All the stations holding permission \u2014 except for the foreign channels and where it may not be feasible — would have to broadcast content on issues of national importance and social relevance for at least 30 minutes every day.<\/span><\/p>\n
