"We're currently entering the era of broadcasting digitization marked by today's ASO.

It consisted of various series of activities, including a Broadcasting Exhibition, Declaration of Broadcasting Concerned Society, Broadcasting Extension Training Training, Broadcasting Literacy and Seminars, Cerdas Cerdas Cermat (Presenter Coaching and Competition), P3SPS (Broadcasting Behavior Guidelines and Broadcast Program Standards), as well as a stage. entertainment.

"All of our program programs are designed to strengthen the current era of digitalization. That is starting from the commitment to care for broadcasting by the government, strengthening community capacity through literacy, strengthening understanding of regulations by Broadcasting Institutions, and preparing the quality of broadcasting human resources through coaching and presenter competitions that we hold. Hopefully, it can be supported and the event runs smoothly," he added.
