The nation’s largest radio station was penalized five times during the three-year period for promoting specific products in its programs, accumulating NT$600,000 (US$21,608) in fines, NCC senior specialist Chen Shu-ming (陳書銘) said. The company must also reinforce educational training for workers and ensure that it has a sound financial management plan, the commission said. The commission would offer administrative guidance to BCC if it should change its business plan in accordance with the court’s ruling, Wong said. The radio station was also required to submit in August a financial statement in which its broadcast and non-broadcast revenue are listed in separate categories, Wong said. As Jaw did not accept the position that was offered to him, BCC did not breach regulations in this regard, Chen said.
