10-min ad slot approved for public TV

The National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission on Monday agreed to allow two public TV channels to air advertising 10 minutes per hour.

 
The rule will be applied to Channel 8 and Channel 9, reserved for organisations in charge of the national security and public safety, respectively.
"The ad slot is based on the slot of free TV channels which are allowed 12 minutes per hour and that pay TV (6 minutes),"  said Natee Sukonrat, vice chairman of the NBTC and chairman of the agency's broadcasting committee.
