A statement by NBC noted that the move followed the publication of a list of stations yet to renew their licences. According to the Commission, a two-week waiver was given to them in May to do so after which they risked the revocation of their broadcast licences.
But three months after the publication, NBC said, “some licensees are yet to pay their outstanding debts, in contravention of the National Broadcasting Commission Act
It called on other broadcast stations yet to renew their licences for the present duration to do so within the next 30 days to avoid sanctions.
