No swearing on air, radio stations warned

The broadcasting authority on Monday cautioned radio stations to be mindful of the language used during sports events, after it received a number of complaints over offensive language.

In a circular shared to all stations, it said inappropriate, insensitive and offensive content was being broadcast over the airwaves either by presenters or by callers phoning in.

Listeners sending inappropriate messages and then being read out in full is also a matter of concern, the broadcasting authority warned.
