A complaint was lodged against the student radio station TUKSFM. The owner of a Night Club complained about negative advertising against it by the station manager. Since no reference to the particular night club could be found on the tapes available to us and the affidavits as to what was broadcast were in direct conflict with each other, we have decided to reject the complaint as a result of the lack of sufficient evidence.
It was noted that the Broadcasting Code is not directed against personnel of broadcasters but against the broadcasters themselves. Internal disciplinary inquiries do not fall within the ambit of our Constitution and Code.
