China's state-owned broadcaster CGNHD licence to broadcast in the UK revoked ,Ofcom
 
[China's state-owned broadcaster has had
its licence to broadcast in the UK revoked
by media watchdog Ofcom.

Ofcom said the company that owns
the UK licence for
China Global Television Network (CGTN) doesn't
have day-to-day control over the channel, which is against its rules.
Star China Media Limited (SCML), which owns the licence,
"did not have editorial responsibility"
over the English-language satellite news channel, Ofcom said.
"As such, SCML does not meet the legal requirement
of having control over the licensed service,
and so is not a lawful broadcast licensee."
In the UK, broadcasting laws say licensees
must have control over their service
and its editorial policies.]


It was one of many News Channels on SkyHD.
