FIVEaa found guilty of running an ad disguised as a current affairs show
Byner
DMG radio station FIVEaa Adelaide has been found guilty of running an ad that masquerades as a current affairs show by media watchdog ACMA.
The breach – which occured in October last year – took place in a segment of the Leon Byner Show. A topic dealing with water fluoridation mentioned water-filter brand Waterways four times.
The segment was one-minute long and was preceded and followed by a pre-recorded advertising.
“As a result of the ACMA finding, FIVEaa has held compliance training for all on-air staff and reviewed its complaints handling procedures.”
Phew, I thought they were going to go easy on them…
Oh the humanity! Training….the poor souls
