台灣音像政策的特徵之一，在於其制定權，幾乎全部集中在中央政府。本文以此特徵為核心，檢視廣電法、電影法與有線電視法，察覺地方參與規範音像資源的權力，是有增加的趨勢，惟若對比歐美實況，則增加的速度與幅度，均極不足，中央有權，但無法提供讓地方滿意的廣電服務，造成中央與地方的廣電衝突，從一九九○年起，因中央與地方執政政黨有別，開始顯現，但尚未達到足以促成重新分配權限的程度。作者最後從政治認知、政治意志與政策方向等三個層面切入，探討地方政府是否可能獲得並良善運用廣電資源的部份權力。

　　　　　The power of making audio-visual policies in Taiwan is nearly exclusively reserved for the central government. Bearing this feature in mind, this essay examines the Broadcasting Act, the Film Act and the Cable Act and takes note of the fact that local governments have been bestowed with more power on audio-visual matters during the past two decades. In comparison with practices prevailing in the USA and member countries of the European Union, this increase is however negligent. As such, clashes between the central and local governments over rights of allocating broadcasting resources arise since 1990 when some local elections were won by the party opposing the ruling Nationalists. To conclude this paper, the author ponders the prospect whether local governments may grab part of the power and provide more public broadcasting services.
