TikTok Awards Night

On 23 December 2019, Radio Plus held the first TikTok Awards Night, which rewards the best Mauritian TikTokers in their respective categories, at the Caudan Arts Centre in Port Louis.[3]

Legal matters

The complaint concerned a broadcast made on 3 October 2012 in the news bulletin of the respondent at 7:00 a.m.[4]

During the 2012 municipal elections, Radio Plus and two other radio stations, Radio One and Top FM, received a letter[5] from the Independent Broadcasting Authority listing directives to follow the rules and regulations during the mentioned period. The Chairman of IBA accused Top FM of suspected breaches, penalising the other two private stations in an interview in le Defi Quotidien but the decision was challenged as Top FM stated that they had so far communicated all and requested the IBA to withdraw the new directives so that Radio Plus and Radio one could continue their phone-in programs.[6]
