Broadcasting regulation is transparent and independent; the state broadcaster is transformed into a truly public broadcaster. 3.1 Broadcasting legislation has been passed and is implemented that provides for a conducive environment for public, commercial and community broadcasting. Both Law 002 of 2010, in its articles 27 to 41, and Law 003, which establishes the High Communication Authority (Haute Autorité de la Communication, HAC), contain provisions for opening up the broadcasting sector and promoting public, commercial and community broadcasting. According to article 27, paragraph 2 of Law 003 the HAC, an independent body, is authorised to license private radio and television stations and community radio stations. At present, 46 licences have been granted and 23 radio stations are actually on air, in addition to two private and two public television stations. Concerning community broadcasting, some panelists thought that the law is not being fully applied. Indeed there is a need to clarify the status of community radios as some have the status of public and others of private radio stations.
