The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa has extended the submission deadline for pre-registrations in respect of applications for community television broadcasting service and related radio frequency spectrum licences on Digital Terrestrial Television Multiplex 1 frequencies from 12 January 2023 to 30 January 2023.
The extension comes in response to stakeholder requests for ICASA to reconsider the submission deadline. ICASA believes that this extension will give potential applicants enough time to prepare their applications and produce all the necessary documentation for the first phase of the licensing process.
All interested community-based organisations are urged to take advantage of this extension as the Authority will be unable to grant any further extensions in this regard.
