AD excluded from discussion programmes
Alternattiva Demokratika – The Green Party wrote to Public
Broadcasting Services and the Broadcasting Authority on the exclusion
of AD spokespersons from discussion programmes.
Ralph Cassar, AD Secretary General, said: "AD spokespersons are being
excluded from discussion programmes on TVM and TVM2. This is taking
place even in programmes where AD has clear positions and policies on
issues under discussion. We have called for an urgent meeting with the
Broadcasting Authority on the matter".
Michael Briguglio, AD Chairperson, said: "Having AD spokespersons
excluded from many discussion programmes on NET and ONE TV is bad
enough. Exclusion from most discussion programmes on PBS is
unacceptable and results in a parody of what democratic and
informative public broadcasting should be all about".
