我國廣播電台執照核換發與審議制度之探討：從“中廣換照案”談起

本文從實際的案例「中廣換照案」出發，藉由本案發生的爭議所在，探討與檢視我國目前廣播電台執照核換發與審議制度的利弊得失為何。本文發現，當前我國「規範」廣播電台最實際手段正是執照核換發的「審議制度」，而這樣的現行制度是否有重新審視或檢討的必要，即為本文所要探究的焦點所在。本文以為，確立主管機關的定位與職責，並將審議制度條文化，至少是解決當前爭議的最佳途徑。本文的論述鋪陳大致為：首先，從我國廣播電台執照核換發的發展狀況作一深入瞭解，找出當前審議制度的問題核心；其次，透過比較制度的方式，探討美國、英國與澳洲等廣播電台較為發達的國家執照核換發制度的優缺點，作為我國現行審議制度檢討的對話場域；最後，本文針對我國當前廣播電台的執照核換發制度的修正方式提出見解，期對此議題有所助益。

This study investigates, examines, and evaluates our existing radio stations license-issuing, license-renewing and evaluation system through analyzing the issues led to by ”the case of BCC's license-renewing”. It is found that the most practical way to rule the radio stations is the ”evaluation system” of the licensing system, whose necessity to be reexamined is the core of this study. We argue that to assign concrete positions and duties to the authorities concerned and draw up definite articles will serve as the best way to resolve the present issues. The reasoning of the study is presented as followed: Firstly, the major problem of the present evaluation system is found through the deep inquiry into the development of our radio stations' licensing system. Secondly, the method of system comparison is applied, drawing the examples from the broadcasting-developed countries such as the United States, British, Australia, etc., and comparing their merits and demerits, in order to set a contrast to the present home system for examination. Lastly, the advice on the revision of the licensing system is presented, hoped to resolve the issue to some extent.
