Malawi’s Communications Regulatory Authority (MACRA), a body that regulates communication facilities in the country, has issued television licences to two private religious stations, APA learnt on Monday.
MACRA Public Relations Manager Zadziko Mankhambo told APA on Monday that his board which met last week in Blantyre issued licences to All for Jesus International a Pentecostal Church and Television Luntha owned by Roman Catholic.
”These licences allow the two stations to include news and analysis reports in their coverage. But the stations are not a platform for political campaigns,” he emphasised.
TV Luntha and AFJITv will be the first private television stations to operate in the country, apart from the single state-owned TV Malawi now operating.

The offering of linceses to these two televion is very recommendable,iam only appealing to the Directors of the televisions to consider areas where state television is failing to reach such as Mulanje boarder and the surrounding areas of Lujeri tea estates.
