Sa nilagdaang Republic Act No. 11680, nakasaad na “An Act Granting Southern Luzon State University (SLSU) a franchise to construct, install, establish, operate, and maintain for educational and other related purposes radio and television broadcasting stations within its campuses in the Province of Quezon.”
Nakasaad din sa naturang batas na pinapayagan ang SLSU na gamitin ang radio at television broadcasting stations para sa edukasyon, kultural, at iba pang kahalintulad na dahilan para sa interes ng publiko.
Available ang frequencies at channels para sa radio at television broadcasting, kabilang ang digital television system.
Sinabi naman ng mambabatas na nagbibigay ang franchise law ng kalayaan sa SLSU na maghatid ng serbisyo sa marginalized students at publiko na nakatira sa mga lugar na walang internet.
“The franchise to operate a radio and television stations serves to broaden the SLSU’s coverage and capacities as an effective instrument in information dissemination geared largely to promote community development and facilitate better public service. The law will enable the SLSU to heighten its response to the need to deliver educational services amid the COVID-19 pandemic,” paliwanag ni Tan.
Dagdag nito, “The grant of radio and TV franchise to the SLSU, a premier higher education institution in Quezon Province, is important in light of the UNESCO’s assessment of COVID-19 impact on education, which reveals that so many students enrolled in various higher educational institutions in the Philippines had been affected by the school closures caused by the pandemic.”
