The Authority's order requiring a broadcaster to publish a corrective statement was within its ordinary discretionary powers under the Broadcasting Act; publication of the Authority's decision alone does not substitute for the broadcaster's own corrective broadcast, and no exceptional factors justified departing from the usual remedy, so the appeal is dismissed and the Authority's order is confirmed.
