Chung T ien Television s (CTi) licence expired yesterday.
Prior to going off-air, CTi - one of Taiwan s most-watched cable news stations - put out a 42-hour live broadcast of its anchors and hosts chatting about their experiences working for the station, and its 26 years of broadcast history.
CTi is owned by Want Want China Times Media Group, which also owns pro-China newspaper The China Times and snack manufacturer Want Want.
Want Want s management is known for being critical of President Tsai Ing-wen s pro-independence Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), and the company-owned news outlets produce coverage that leans towards China.
Taiwan s National Communications Commission (NCC) announced on Nov 18 that it had unanimously decided not to renew CTi s broadcast licence, in effect shutting it down.
TAIPEI - A pro-China cable TV station has been taken off the air after Taiwan s media regulator found it had failed to address findings of bias and disinformation and declined to renew its licence.
