SECTOR 3 3.3 The body regulates broadcasting services and licenses in the public interest and ensures fairness and a diversity of views broadly representing society at large. As pointed out in the previous indicator, this independent broadcasting regulator does not exist in Angola. Nevertheless, a new, private television station, TV Zimbo, was licensed recently. It is not clear under what circumstances the license was issued. Its owners are not known, despite the law being clear in that shareholders in media companies have to be clearly identified. There was no transparency in this process. Scores: Individual scores: 1 Country does not meet indicator 2 Country meets only a few aspects of indicator 3 Country meets some aspects of indicator 4 Country meets most aspects of indicator 5 Country meets all aspects of the indicator Average score: 1.0 3.4 The state/public broadcaster is accountable to the public through a board representative of society at large and selected in an independent, open and transparent manner. Public broadcasting in Angola functions, essentially, under a state-owned model. The minister in charge of the media portfolio appoints the managers of both the Public Television of Angola (TPA) and Angola National Radio (RNA). There are no formal or legal mechanisms through which those managers are accountable to the public. There is serious resistance in Angola against the adoption of the governance model prescribed in the African Charter on Broadcasting and in the Declaration of Principles on Freedom of Expression in Africa. 106 AFRICAN MEDIA BAROMETER ANGOLA 2010
