The technical equipment used is not adequate for effective television broadcasting. A number of these stations lack the most basic technical support, whether it be the instruments used for production and broadcast premises or the safety of the location. This is one of the most important and obvious points of weakness or strength. Commercial advertising and income Even in commercial advertising, there is a considerable difference between stations, whether these concern production, broadcasting, set prices or competition. There are rules and regulations regulating advertising stipulating that the length of a commercial should not exceed 60 seconds and providing that commercial advertising should not exceed 8 minutes per hour of broadcast.
Commercials are also to be clear and original.
There are other rules binding the party wanting to advertise and the party producing the advertisement. There are companies that specialise in commercial advertisement, whilst the role of television stations is only limited to the broadcasting of these advertisements. None of the stations follow this particular rule. In addition, some stations have obtained and still receive illegal funding in return for the production and broadcast of programmes in favour of the party providing the funds. Broadcasting wave-lengths Stations have faced and are still facing a serious problems, because of the lack of available waves that may be used free from interference by other waves.
