According to the London-based newspaper Al-Zaman there is to be a television and radio Iraq Broadcasting Corporation (IBC).
The programmes will be available locally and via satellite. A number of Iraqi businessmen and media experts are behind the project.
The IBC aims to stay above any political obedience to a group, a party, a category, a faction, a religion or an individual. The corporation will be open to all prevailing cultures, religions. It will also endeavour to “introduce cheerfulness after years of gloom and isolation”.
The project, which has 10 millions dollars of finance but needs more, will start experimental transmissions within the next six months. The IBC will be administered by a board of governors and an executive. It will work under the supervision of a council of trustees.
