Policy and Reform Minister waiting for reply to proposal
The government is waiting for approval to trial a digital BBC Isle of Man news programme.
Policy and Reform Minister Ray Harmer explained the current status, in a statement on BBC TV Licensing in Tynwald.
He spoke about the relationship with the BBC and Manx Radio, with a reciprocal sharing agreement of news content.
But, Mr Harmer said they could capitalise further on BBC TV Licensing with similar 'opt-out' systems to the Channel Islands:
'Very high' flu levels have presented operational challenges for Manx Care
Discussions remain 'ongoing' over easyJet flight offerings
CoMin rejects Steam Packet Statutory Board proposal
Population growth 'slower than needed' to support Manx businesses
