ernment Gazette of 7 September 2007, owners of both home radio and television sets are now required to pay a combined fee of $600 000.The new licence fee for car radios is $1 million, up from $550.
The licence fee for company televisions has been set at $10 million per annum. In addition, companies will pay $3 million per year for office radios and $5 million for their car radios.

This is more so in light of ZBH’s claims of being a public broadcaster.” – Own Correspondent
