[HCDX] Radio and Television Union plans fees for listening to radio

[Jaisakthivel <ardicdxclub@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Radio and Television Union has submitted a proposal to the 
government to adopt a tax on car owners in Egypt for car radio service, 
to be paid annually when renewing the license, said the Union head Essam al-Amir.
 
This comes within the anticipated union reform package in response 
to a government request to rationalize consumption and make the union 
self-sustainable as it costs the public treasury LE 220 million per 
month.
 
In order for the union to partially support itself, a plan needs to be implemented that would increase television consumption fees in 
houses, which currently stands at 2 cents, so that the Egyptian 
television services can be more rewarding, says al-Amir.
 
New shows would be introduced in the near future, he added. The 
shows would not cost more money, and would bring back advertisement.
 
He explained that there is a plan to merge the three production 
sectors owned by the unit, in order to able to produce major shows.
