UK regulator Ofcom revokes CGTN s licence to broadcast in the UK

The UK s communications regulator Ofcom has revoked the licence of China Global Television Network (CGTN) to be able to broadcast in Britain amid concerns of political control. The move comes following an investigation by the regulatory body into the licence holder, Star China Media Ltd, which concluded it didn t exercise editorial control over the English language arm of the Chinese state broadcaster, China Central Television (CCTV). As such, the company did not meet the legal requirement to hold a licence, Ofcom said. In addition, efforts to transfer the licence to CCTV were also restricted by the UK regulator. The Chinese media outlet is disqualified from holding a licence because of its affiliation with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
