The role of the Television and Radio Consultative Scheme is to provide qualitative input in the Authority's public consultation process. Members are appointed from across the territory's 18 geographical districts and they meet in the form of focus groups to discuss topical subjects relating to broadcasting standards. Their views help to supplement the quantitative findings obtained from the Broadcasting Services Survey. During the reporting period, Members were invited to give views on in-programme promotions and announcements of programme changes on domestic free and domestic pay television services, subtitling requirements for the English language services of domestic free television programme service licensees and the application of Wave Media for a sound broadcasting licence.  The views collected formed part of the consultation process of the Authority in its review of Codes of Practice and licence conditions and consideration for providing advice to the Government on the application of licence.

Activities were arranged for Members to familiarize themselves with the work of the broadcasters. Members visited TVB City in February 2008 and exchanged views with representatives of TVB.
