Radio Plus and legal matter

The complaint concerned a broadcast made on 3 October 2012 in the news bulletin of the respondent at 7:00 am.^[4]

During the Municipal Elections 2012, Radio Plus along with other 2 radio stations, Radio one and Top Fm, received a letter^[5] by the Independent Broadcasting Authority listing directives to follow the rules and regulations they were to follow during the mentioned period. The Chairman of IBA accused Top Fm of suspected breaches, penalising the other two private stations in an interview in le Defi Quotidien but the decision was challenged as Top FM stated that they had so far communicated all and requested the IBA to withdraw the new directives so that Radio Plus and Radio one could continue their phone-in programs.^[6]
