Army stations cut Apirak's radio pitch
Democrat deputy leader Abhisit Vejjajiva said yesterday the party had contracts with several air-time concessionaires on various radio stations to broadcast Mr Apirak's 30-second spot. The contracts include running it on army stations during hourly news programmes However, the army banned the hourly spot one day after it was first aired, he said. The only explanation to the concessionaires was that the ban was temporary. ``It never gives the reason,'' said Mr Abhisit, who heads the Democrat city election centre. He said the ban affected Mr Apirak's election campaign and came as a surprise. The air-time had been contracted legally and the content explained Mr Apirak's policies as a candidate for Bangkok governor. There was nothing illegal and nothing that would damage any other party. Mr Abhisit demanded quick clarification from the army and said other radio stations were airing the spot without any problem. |
