The fundamental aim of the Malawi Govemment, acting through the Ministry of Information which is responsible for broadcasting, is to ensure that the full range of broadcasting services are available to the population of Malawi.

To achieve this aim, the Ministry has set itself the following objectives -

(a)    MBC should act as the national public broadcaster, embracing radio and television;
 
(b)    a diverse range of sound and television broadcasting services should be provided in the new democratic Malawi;

(c)    coverage of FM radio broadcasting will be ensured by the issue of separate licences in relation to every centre of population in Malawi, but only to local operators.

(d)    broadcasting services should be regulated in the best interest of the public.

MACRA will be responsible for regulating broadcasting.
