Consider the following statement:

According to the communication convergence Act, 2001, programme means

(i) Television or radio programme

(ii) Advertising or sponsorship

(iii) Whether or not of a commercial kind

(iv) broadcast programming shall be contructed accordingly Which of these statement(s) is/are correct

(A) (i) and (ii)

(B) (i), (iii) and (iv)

(C) only (iv)

(D) (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv)

Correct Ans: (A)

Explanation:

The Communication Convergence Act, 2001 defines the term “programme” in a specific context, focusing on television, radio, advertising, and sponsorship. The correct statements are:

(i) Television or radio programme: The Act defines these as types of programmes, making this interpretation correct. (ii) Advertising or sponsorship: The Act considers advertisements and sponsorships as part of broadcasting programmes. (iii) Whether or not of a commercial kind: This aspect does not directly apply, as the Act does not specify it in the definition of “programme.” (iv) Broadcast programming shall be constructed accordingly: This is a general statement, but it doesn’t specifically define “programme” as the previous points do.
