The hearings on the suit of the National Commission on Television and Radio versus “Hayrenik TV” company, scheduled for March 15 at the RA Commercial Court, were not held. NCTR demanded TV company to pay a fine. As YPC was told at NCTR, “Hayrenik TV” paid the fine on March 3, after which the suit was revoked. On February 15 the National Commission had filed a suit because of the expiry of the deadline, legally stipulated for paying fine (see YPC Weekly Newsletter, February 11-17, 2005). The sanction was imposed on “Hayrenik TV” by the National Commission on January 18 for rebroadcasting the programs of the French “Mezzo” TV channel and the demonstration of unlicensed films.
