Radio France seeks easing of ad rules: state-run stations want to air spots from private firms

Article Abstract:

Radio France Internationale is having difficulty maintaining its level of advertising revenue as more firms become privatized. A 1951 law prohibits Radio France from accepting ads from firms that are not state-owned. The broadcaster has petitioned the government to allow it to accept advertising from private companies; ads from alcoholic beverage and supermarket companies may continue to be prohibited.
