Armenia's Embattled TV Seeks Renewed Broadcast

Armenia's leading independent television controversially taken off the air more than eight years ago has made another bid to regain its broadcasting license amid lingering concerns about the fairness of the ongoing contest.

The previous twelve bids made by A1+ since 2002 proved unsuccessful.

Mesrop Movsesian, the head of the television's founding company, Meltex, told RFE/RL on Wednesday that the application submitted to the National Commission on Television and Radio (HRAH) is "a good presentation" and that the company intends to be guided by its submitted project should it succeed in receiving a license.

Movsesian did not reveal details, but said that "the chosen direction is news and 24-hour broadcast."
