Tonight on EU TV …
The European Federation is trying to get its grubby mits on our TV and newspapers.
The EU Culture and Education Committee is trying to introduce a directive that will limit advertising on commercial TV to one slot every 45 minutes and and ban all advertising in childrens TV, current affairs programmes, news, documentaries and cultural programming.
These restrictions would bankrupt many small stations and for those stations that survive, commercial programming in Europe would be unviable The net result? The only viable stations will be state-controlled and state-funded.
The resolution is supported by a large coalition including the British Labour, Lib Dem and Green Parties with opposition from the Conservatives and UKIP.
