The government has directed distributors of foreign television channels to broadcast them in Nepal without advertisements from October 24, warning of legal action against those who fail to comply.

In a statement on Wednesday, the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology reminded the distributors of foreign television channels that the Advertisement (Regulation) Act 2019 requires foreign television channels to be aired in Nepal without advertisements within October 23 this year and that the law has already given them one year to make the preparations necessary for airing foreign content free of advertisements.

“The concerned agencies are requested to air foreign television contents without advertisements as per the spirit of the law,” the ministry’s statement reads.
