6. The Principal Act is amended by inserting after section 7 the following
section: Application of Act to supplementary broadcasting stations,
supplementary licences and supplementary licensees

''8. (1) This Act applies to and in relation to a supplementary broadcasting
station, a supplementary licence and the holder of such a licence in like
manner as it applies to and in relation to a commercial broadcasting station,
a licence in respect of a commercial broadcasting station and the holder of
such a licence, and, for the purposes of that application-

   (a)  a reference to a commercial broadcasting station shall be read as a
        reference to a supplementary broadcasting station;

   (b)  a reference to a licence in respect of a commercial broadcasting
        station shall be read as a reference to a supplementary licence; and

   (c)  a reference to the licensee of a commercial broadcasting station shall
        be read as a reference to the licensee of a supplementary broadcasting
        station.

''(2) Notwithstanding the definition of 'gross earnings' in sub-section 4 (1),
in relation to a supplementary licence to which sub-section 81 (6) of the
Broadcasting and Television Act 1942 applies, references in sections 6 and 7
to gross earnings, in relation to the station to which the licence relates, in
respect of a period, are references to the aggregate amount of the gross
earnings in respect of the broadcasting from the station of advertisements or
other matter of all the persons who, at any time during that period, are
co-owners of the licence, including the gross earnings of those persons during
that period in respect of the provision by any or all of those persons of, or
otherwise in respect of, matter broadcast from the station.''.
