Thus, there must be a dialogue between the involved parties in order to devise a win-win resolution to resolve the conflict at hand. It is highly recommended to incorporate the enforcement in the KBP Broadcast Code to insure self-regulation of the member stations. there must be prorating of rates in accordance with the income of the station. And an exemption may be made upon determination of a certain threshold based on profit annually.
