NRTA

The National Radio-Television Agency (NRTA) is an independent agency of the government of El Kadsre that regulates communications via radio stations and terrestrial television circuits and channels in the country. The agency formed on May 6, 1974.

Media policy
After the 1999 Supreme Court case NRTA v. EKRS—which spawned when then-current EKRS Sports co-anchor, Peter Bartley, used the word "shit"—the agency decided that all radio and television would be banned from using obscene language. In 2018, the agency's TV & radio ban on uncensored profanity was lifted after the Supreme Court case The People of El Kadsre v. NRTA declared the ban unconstitutional.

Prior to 2010, the agency also banned graphic violence and nudity from free-to-air television. These bans were declared unconstitutional in the lawsuit Matthews v. NRTA and lifted, but only for the watershed hours.
