Prior to broadcasting such programmes the respective channels must obtain the
clearance from the Public Performance Board, said Mr. Asoka Serasinghe the
chairman of the PPB.
There is a huge competition among TV and radio channels on reality musical
programmes and to get the competitive edge, some channels telecast unsuitable
musical and visual contents which need to be filtered by the Board, the chairman
added.
With the new rules visuals and lyrics of the songs to be telecast will be
filtered by the Board, he further said.
