The requirements for the broadcasting of foreign TV and radio channels are contained in article 34 of the law. According to paragraph 5 of article 34, in the weekly volume of broadcasting of domestic television and radio channels, the retransmission of television and radio programs of foreign television and radio channels should not exceed twenty percent of the total volume of television and radio programs.

Part 7 of the commented article provides for administrative liability for violation of the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan on television and radio broadcasting by television and radio broadcasting operators.
The direct object of the administrative offense provided for in Part 7 of the commented article is the procedure established by law and protected by the state for compliance with the requirements of the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan on television and radio broadcasting by television and radio broadcasting operators.
The objective side of the administrative offense provided for in Part 7 of Article 452 of the Administrative Code is characterized by inaction, namely:
- non-proliferation of mandatory television and radio channels by television and radio broadcasting operators;
According to subparagraph 6) of Article 1 of the law, mandatory television and radio channels are television and radio channels included in the relevant list approved by the authorized body, mandatory for distribution through multichannel broadcasting throughout the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
According to subparagraph 6) of paragraph 2 of Article 25, the national television and radio broadcasting operator must be obliged to broadcast mandatory television and radio channels and free-access television and radio channels.
The national television and radio broadcasting operator is a legal entity designated by the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan, which is entrusted by the owner, represented by the State, with the tasks of maintaining and developing the national television and radio broadcasting network.
Whereas the broadcasting operator is an individual or legal entity that has received a license to distribute television and radio channels.
Thus, the obligation to broadcast mandatory television, radio channels and television and radio channels is legally assigned to the national television and radio broadcasting operator, while responsibility under the Administrative Code is assigned to the television and radio broadcasting operator. These two entities have different status. Due to the conflict that has arisen, we believe it is necessary to bring into line the legislation on television and radio broadcasting and the Code of Administrative Offenses.
- violations by TV and radio broadcasting operators of the conditions for the retransmission of television and radio channels.
As noted above, retransmission is the reception and simultaneous or recorded distribution of television, radio programs, television, and radio channels using telecommunications equipment and in telecommunications networks.
According to article 34 of the law, the retransmission of a television, radio channel, television, or radio program is allowed solely on the basis of an agreement concluded between a television and radio broadcasting operator and a television, radio company or a branch (representative office) of a foreign legal entity.,
Legal relations related to the retransmission of television, radio channels, television, and radio programs are carried out in accordance with the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan on copyright and related rights.
According to paragraph 1 of article 34, the retransmission of a television, radio channel, television, or radio program is carried out without making changes to the content, unless otherwise provided by an agreement between the television and radio broadcasting operators and the television and radio company that holds the rights, as well as with the exception of the cases provided for in this article.
Consequently, the terms of the retransmission of the TV and radio channel can be changed by the contract.
