acma launches 2day fm inquiry

THE broadcast regulator will investigate the role of 2Day FM management and its Sydney DJs Mel Greig and Michael Christian in the royal hoax call scandal and will seek to identify who gave the green light for the prank to go to air.

Section 6.1 of the code of practice states: “A licensee must not broadcast the words of an identifiable person unless: a) that person has been informed in advance or a reasonable person would be aware that the words may be broadcast; or b) in the case of words which have been recorded without the knowledge of the person, that person has subsequently, but prior to the broadcast, expressed consent to the broadcast of the word.”
