Asadullo Rakhmonov, chairman of the Tajik State Broadcasting Committee told the media that ten applicants were denied TV broadcasting licenses in Tajikistan in 2010.

The official said that the reason for denial is “incompletion” of licensing documents. Besides that, most of the applicants do not have sources of funding and proper documents proving compliance of their equipment to modern standards of broadcasting.

Rakhmonov explained that issuance of licenses does not depend solely on the Broadcasting Committee. “The licensing commission comprises of representatives of six ministries and government agencies”, — he added.
