Taipei, Dec. 11 (CNA) Chung Tien Television (CTiTV) will have to close down its cable news channel from midnight Friday upon the expiration of its six-year broadcast license, following a decision by the Supreme Administrative Court to overrule an appeal by the company.
Earlier in the day, the court turned down CTiTV s appeal against a lower court s rejection of its request for an injunction to prevent CTi News shutdown when its broadcast license expires on Dec. 11. The ruling is final.
CTiTV filed the injunction request after its application for the renewal of CTi News broadcast license was rejected on Nov. 18 by the National Communications Commission (NCC), Taiwan s top telecommunications and broadcasting regulator.
