The announcement, published yesterday in the Royal Gazette, would see state channels disseminate the content for 30 minutes every Monday and Wednesday from June 27 to August 6 from 5.30pm.

Non-state channels, including private, community and cable, have been given a choice between broadcasting the program at the same time as state channels or re-run it later between 6.30pm and midnight or between 6am and noon the following day.

The decree went into effect immediately after being published in the Royal Gazette.
