3.14.7.1 Sustainability: (i) CTV is critically under-funded, making it difficult to fulfil its mandate; (ii) CTV has not received sufficient support for infrastructure costs despite the fact that it costs around R2 million to set up a community TV station; (iii) CTV only receives approximately R1 million per annum from the MDDA; (iv) CTV's repeated appeals to the Department to subsidise transmission costs have been ignored; (v) the National Film and Video Foundation (NFVF) does not consider community TV to be part of their mandate; (vi) CTV has not received any support from the local or provincial government; (vii) The GCIS has recently started to advertise on CTV, which is a positive development; (viii) CTV is still paying unacceptably high signal distribution tariff costs of R67 000 per month; and (ix) Community TV stations cannot be expected to generate more than a third of their revenues out of advertising and certainly not in the first two to three years.
