ACMA issues formal warnings to ARN & HT&E

The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has scolded two radio companies for failures to notify the watchdog about radio licence changes within 10 business days.

Eleven licensees and subsidiaries of Australian Radio Network (ARN) received formal warnings for not alerting ACMA to a change in control of their licences within that required time frame. Meanwhile HT&E Finance, a subsidiary of HT&E, was issued a formal warning for not telling the authority  it was in a position to exercise control of the radio licences within 10 days.
