It decides on the approval and allocation of radio and TV programs. The MA HSH also monitors the broadcasters it has licensed with regard to the provisions of the protection of minors and the advertising guidelines. In addition, the MA HSH sees itself as the point of contact for users. It examines complaints against broadcasters and promotes media-related discourse in Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein through events.

Protection of minors and media skills promotion
The MA HSH is responsible for monitoring the protection of minors in television, radio and the Internet. Based on the provisions of the State Treaty on Youth Media Protection (JMStV), MA HSH monitors compliance with airtime restrictions and sanctions violations.
Since a control of the providers quickly reaches its limits, especially on the Internet, the MA HSH supports projects to promote media skills. Children and young people should be given the opportunity to navigate the Internet safely without losing sight of the possibilities of the new media.
MA HSH projects to promote media skills include the media skills magazine scout for parents and educators, which appears twice a year. Under the title Schein & Sein , the MA HSH has developed a handout for teachers that deals with scripted reality formats as well as the opportunities and problems in social networks . The MA HSH also demands uniform labeling for scripted reality formats.
The MA HSH also supports a large number of projects to promote media skills. It works with the other state media authorities, associations, the public media (Open Channel Schleswig-Holstein and TIDE) and individual schools.
